Oh no! Our Easter eggs hatched! These little beauties are Gouldian finches, native to Northern Australia. The chicks have markings on the inside of their beaks, and reflective nodules around their beaks to help their parents locate and feed them in the dark hollow logs they use as nests. While now considered only near threatened, the Gouldian finch was nearly lost in the wild due to overgrazing by livestock and changing fire regimes which destroyed food and nest sites for them! Lots of hard work
