Gouldian Finch Hatchling
Erythrura gouldiae (hatchling)
Gouldian Finch hatchlings develop in tree-hollow nests within northern Australian tropical savanna and open woodland. They are helpless, sparsely down-covered chicks that remain in the cavity while both parents feed them, chiefly with insects and softened seeds. Their wide gape and persistent begging calls help prompt feeding in the dim nest hollow.
