Black-capped trogon (SciiFii)

The black-capped trogon (Priotelus nigreos) is a species of trogon that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across the mainland North America and northern Central America to help boost biodiversity. It is the only species of Priotelus trogon found on the mainland and is most closely related to the similarly-looking Cuban trogon (Priotelus temnurus). The black-capped trogon is very colorful with a green back, black crown, red belly and beak, and white throat and chest. It has a long fluffy tail which is unique amongst trogons. From beak to tail, this bird is between ten and eleven inches. In flight, they travel in pairs creating a large amount of noise because of their rough, graceless flying technique. The black-capped trogon usually nests in already created crevices in trees, including abandoned woodpecker holes, although it is known to excavate its own crevices to make its nests. The black-capped trogon feeds primarily on flowers, fruits and insects, and unlike most birds, it is capable of hovering while eating. The conservation status of the black-capped trogon is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the black-capped trogon's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
