Oak tanager (SciiFii)

The oak tanager (Tangara quercus) is a species of brightly colored tanager of the genus Tangara 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. As other members of the Tangara genus, the oak tanager is a small colorful bird, measuring an average of 13.5 centimeters (5.3 inches) and a mass of 18g (0.6 oz). The oak tanager has a greenish or bluish head, black on the back, and a contrastingly colored, deep green rump. Females and juvenile birds have similar, though duller coloration. The oak tanager moves through the canopy, making itself inconspicuous, as its apparently flashy blue-green coloration camouflages it well amongst the foliage. Oak tanagers pick insects from leaves, or sometimes in flight, but fruits, seeds, and nuts is a major dietary item. The female oak tanager builds a usually well concealed cup nest and lays three brown- or lilac-speckled white eggs. These hatch in 13–14 days and the chicks fledge in a further 15–16 days. The male and female feed the nestlings on insects and fruit, and may be assisted by helpers. The conservation status of the oak tanager is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the oak tanager's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
