Title: "Gouldian Finches Feeding on Brachyachne convergens"
Medium: Acrylic on paper, Size: 17 x 21 cm, Unframed Price: SOLD
The painting of these Gouldian Finches depict a male (left) and female (right) in their magnificent breeding colours while they eat the seed of the grass Brachyachne convergens on a station in North Queensland. Native grasses are declining in North Queensland due the invasion of exotic grasses such as Grader Grass (Themeda quadrivalvis). However, careful management of waterways, i.e. fencing out cattle from watercourses, control the spread of weeds and improves the quality of the waterways.
