Discover the vibrant beauty of the Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae), also known as the Quasicollis or Gould's Finch. This stunning Australian native, with its distinctive black head and colorful plumage, is represented in various illustrations from the 19th century, including works by John Gould and Oscar Dressler. The male and female, with their contrasting hues, can be seen perching on branches or metal bars. Approximately 75% of the population are black-headed morphs. These birds are native to the Top End of Australia, from the Kimberley to the far north of Queensland, but their numbers have dwindled significantly.
