American vanga (SciiFii)

The American vanga (Rhamphoeuryceros yorkensis) is a species of toucan (Ramphastidae), despite its name or appearance, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American vanga is a distinctive-looking bird, with its mainly blue-black feathers, deep blue wings, and a huge arched cyan bill. The American vanga is a medium-sized toucan, in length it measures 28 to 31 cm (11–12 inches), and it weighs 84 to 114 grams (3.0–4.0 oz). The American vanga is carnivorous and its diet is composed of invertebrates, predominantly insects, but it can also feed on snails, lizards, spiders and crabs. Helmet vangas are monogamous and seasonal breeders. The breeding season runs from February to May. Both sexes work on the construction of the nest, which is a cup shape 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) in diameter constructed from woven plant fibres, mosses and twigs, and is placed in a fork in a tree 2 to 4 meters (6.6–13.1 feet) off the ground. The male American vangas perform courtship feeding before copulation. The clutch size is five or six pinkish white eggs. The conservation status of the American vanga is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American vanga's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
