They are Gouldian finches (Chloebia gouldiae), of which probably less than 3000 wild birds remain, in northern Australia. The species was first described in 1844, by ornithologist-publisher John Gould. He named the species in honour of his then-deceased wife Elizabeth. Elizabeth Gould was one of the primary illustrators of Gould's very famous books, as was also Edward Lear. That's "first described" for European science, of course: undoubtedly, indigenous Australians of the region already had names for this incredible bird. Wild populations have three co-existing colour variants (as shown): black-face (commonest), red-face and orange-face (rarest). Bit like brown/blue/green eyes in humans. The words they speak: that's for you to interpret, not me to explain.
