Native to the tropical savannas of northern Australia, it combines a vivid green back, cobalt-blue rump, purple breast, golden-yellow belly, and a boldly coloured head — red, black, or orange depending on the individual — into a palette so extraordinary it seems almost impossible for nature to have produced. It is one of the most prized birds among aviculturists and wildlife artists worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach figurine is individually \u003cstrong\u003ehand-carved from premium basswood\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehand-painted\u003c\/strong\u003e colour zone by colour zone with artist-grade care — the Gouldian’s complex, multi-zone plumage is among the most technically demanding paint work in the entire Wooden Islands collection.
