Finch Aviary
Using research and ideation to expand the world of design and solve problems.
This project uses species-specific research to design a birdhouse tailored to the needs of a Gouldian finch, like perches for stimulation and a deep nesting hole
Research
Gouldian Finch
Gouldian Finches benefit from varied perches, hiding spaces, and opportunities to explore their environment for mental stimulation
They naturally nest in deep, dark tree cavities that provide an enclosed and protected environment
Native Habitat
Nesting
Gouldian Finches inhabit open woodland and savanna environments across northern Australia
Endangered
Fewer than 2500 remaining Habitat loss has lead to the decline of Gouldian finch populations, making suitable nesting environments super important
