Photo showing a baby Gouldian finch that had just hatched and is quite tiny, with a finger shown for scale. The bright blue nodules / spots positioned either side of its beak are quite unique to the Gouldian, being phosphorescent and glowing in the dark, This helps the parents feed the chicks in their dark nests, as they choose to nest in deep tree cavities in the wild - Northern Australia.
