The Erythrura gouldiae, commonly known as the Gouldian Finch, is a vibrantly colored bird native to the savanna woodlands of Northern Australia. It exhibits a remarkable array of plumage colors, with variations in red, black, or yellow head coloring. These finches are social creatures, often found in flocks, and are known for their intricate courtship dances. They primarily feed on seeds and play a crucial role in seed dispersal within their ecosystem.

Erythrura gouldiae, commonly known as the Gouldian Finch, is native to the northern regions of Australia. Its geographical distribution includes the tropical savannas of the Northern Territory, Western Australia, and Queensland.

The Gouldian Finch inhabits open woodlands and grasslands, particularly those dominated by Eucalyptus trees and native grasses. These areas experience a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. During the wet season, the environment is lush and green, while the dry season sees reduced water availability.

Erythrura gouldiae primarily feeds on seeds of native grasses, particularly those that grow in open savanna habitats. It requires water sources nearby and often nests in tree hollows. The species is well-adapted to the seasonal changes in its environment, with breeding typically occurring during or after the wet season when food resources are abundant.
