Grab a unique Australian pair of earrings and support endangered species recovery. This highly attractive finch species is somewhat emblematic of the classic northern Australian grassy woodland. This mobile species is a seed eater relying on relatively few species to persist. It naturally comes in three different head colours, black (over 70%, red (30%) and yellow (roughly 1 in 1000). Because of these variations and their striking colours they were once a significant target for aviculture harvesting heavily impacting populations. Now, despite a ban on harvesting from the wild, this species is deemed not to have recovered adequately with altered fire regimes and over-grazing of grassy habitat largely identified as a key driver. Each piece in our rare species range is delicately hand painted on a timber base and carries its own unique characteristics. Due to this some minor variations from the pictured product are to be expected. 5% of all net earnings related to the rare species range will be donated to threatened species recovery programs.
