The Gouldian Finch Chloebia gouldiae is arguably the most vividly colorful bird on earth. Its native habitat is the northern region of Australia. Gouldians are between 5 and 5.5 inches in size. The coloration of the cock is much more brilliant than that of the hen. The male has a noticeably longer center tail feather. Its range includes tropical open savannah woodland with a dense cover of sorghum grass from north central Queensland to Western Australia. Its diet consists of seeds of a variety of native grasses, particularly sorghum grass but it also eats insects in the breeding season. Cattle grazing, fire and illegal trapping have reduced their numbers and they have also been found to be infected with mites introduced to Australia by imported birds. They are a popular cage bird although they can be quite difficult to raise in captivity.
