Euphonia gouldi, also known as Gould’s Euphonia, is a small pᴀsserine bird found in the forests and woodlands of South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.
The Gould’s Euphonia has a distinctive and colorful plumage, with males having a bright blue head, yellow underparts, and a black back, while females have a greenish-yellow back and a duller version of the male’s yellow underparts. Both Sєxes have a distinctive eye-ring and a thick, conical bill.
The Gould’s Euphonia is known for its sweet and melodious song, which is a series of clear and high-pitched notes. It feeds mainly on fruits and insects.
Although the Gould’s Euphonia is not considered to be threatened, its population is declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Its conservation status is currently listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
