Australian Native Finches

Yesterday, there were some cute, little Double-barred finches flitting about my garden and I managed to get close enough to get a couple of good photos. In my next finch clip art series I will make sure to include these cuties!

It may be apparent that I am obsessed with finches right now, and I especially love the Chestnut-breasted mannikin – its colours are so gorgeous and it looks like some kind of vanilla, caramel and chocolate fluff ball!

Gouldian Finches

Where I live in Australia is home to the beautiful Gouldian Finch. Most Gouldian finches have a black face, around 25% have a red face, but every now and then a rare yellow-faced finch will occur.

It is one of the most colourful birds in the world but, unfortunately, is endangered – with only around 2,500 mature birds existing in the wild. It would be incredibly sad to see such a beautiful, little creature disappear.

I have made my art available to purchase as clipart or as a sticker in my Etsy Store.

I will be creating lots more finch art in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned!
