Gouldian finches in an aviary

Atherton Tableland, Queensland, Australia view map

There is a breeding program here for these birds, an endangered species. They apparently do quite well in aviaries,
but there are problems when they are released. If you simply leave the aviary door open, the birds just hang around.

We saw them also in Suzhou, China; look at: http://www.pbase.com/lambsfeathers/image/25179998
