Rainbow Secrets in the Forest

for the Gouldian Finch

Endangered

By Evelyn, age 6

These are two Gouldian Finches, the rainbow birds of Australia! The bird on the right is whispering a secret: "Will our beautiful trees and sweet flowers always be here?" Their homes are disappearing, and there aren't many rainbow birds left in the wild. I painted them sharing secrets because I want everyone to protect their forest homes, so these best friends can always sing and stay safe together.
