Gouldian finch

Geographical area
The Gouldian finch is native to the northern regions of Australia, notably that of Kimberley, north of Western Australia, where the most significant numbers are found.

In its natural environment, the Gouldian finch inhabits wooded savannahs near wetlands.

The species is much appreciated as a domestic bird, both in its country of origin and in Europe and the United States.

Breed history
The description of the Gouldian Diamond was made by John Gould, the British ornithologist, and naturalist who gave it his name, in 1844. He then took part in an ornithological expedition. About ten years earlier, the first specimens had been observed by French zoologists and naturalists Jacques Bernard Hombron and Honoré Jacquinot.

The species began to be imported into Europe 4 decades later, first to England, then to France. The flows continued until 1959 and Australia’s ban on exporting its wild animals.

Today, the natural habitat of the Gouldian finch in Australia is damaged by disasters (wildfires), deforestation, poaching, and pollution.
