The Brilliantly Colorful Bird Known as the “Rainbow Finch”

The Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae), also known as the Rainbow Finch, has vivid, multicolored plumage.


Blue, purple, yellow, red, black, and green feathers are visible on both male and female birds.


Their heads can be black, red, or yellow.


The males have brighter coloring, as is typical of many bird species.

These tiny finches were originally from Australia’s grasslands, but they were also brought to Europe.


The birds enjoy interacting with other finches because they are super social beings. They don’t like to be handled and are wary of people.
Gouldian finches eat seeds, grass, and insects.
