Gouldian Finches are considered the world’s most beautiful finch. Also known as the Gould’s Finch or the Rainbow Finch these colourful birds truly stand out in Australia’s avian landscape.

Endemic to the northern part of Australia Gouldian Finches are incredibly social. You’ll often find them in tropical savannahs, thickets, and woodlands near water sources in mixed finch flocks of up to 2,000 birds, except during mating season.

An interesting fact – The Gouldian Finch can have three different facial colours:

1. • Black face: This is the most common variety (70-80% of the population).
   • Red face: About 20-30% of the species exhibit this coloration.
   • Yellow face: Extremely rare, occurring in only one out of every 3,000 individuals¹²

Both males and females have black, green, yellow, and red markings. However, females have slightly duller plumage. You can distinguish them by looking at their breasts: males have a vibrant purple breast, while females have a lighter mauve colour.
