Leafy-headed tanger (SciiFii)

The leafy-headed tanager (Tangara foliucephala) 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. The leafy-headed tanager is a medium-sized songbird whose length varies between 13.5 and 15 centimeters. It has a deep green head, sky blue underparts and black upper body plumage. Depending on subspecies, the behind is yellow and red or all red. The beak is black and the legs are grey. Leafy-headed tanagers pick insects from leaves, or sometimes in flight, but fruits, seeds, and nuts is a major dietary item. The female leafy-headed tanager builds a usually well concealed cup nest and lays three brown-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 leafy-headed tanager is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the leafy-headed tanager's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
