North American sword-billed hummingbird (SciiFii)

The North American sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera maximus) is a species of hummingbird, most closely related to the South American sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American sword-billed hummingbird is characterized among North American hummingbirds by its unusually long bill, being one of the only known bird to have a beak longer than the rest of its body. It uses its bill to drink nectar from flowers with long corollas and has adapted with the long and large flowering plant species. While most hummingbirds preen using their bills, the North American sword-billed hummingbird uses its feet to scratch and preen due to its bill being so long. Along with the two species of giant hummingbirds (Patagona) and the South American sword-billed hummingbird, it is among the largest species of hummingbirds. Adults are 13–14 centimetres (5.1–5.5 inches) long excluding the bill and weigh 10–15 grams (0.35–0.53 oz), with males being slightly larger on average than females. The North American sword-billed hummingbird makes a low, guttural, slightly trilled trrr. Females and males are polygamous and may mate with several individuals to increase reproductive success. Eggs are laid usually in February and March, and only the female stays to feed and guard the nest. The conservation status of the North American sword-billed hummingbird is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American sword-billed hummingbird's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
