Black-masked barbet (SciiFii)

The black-masked barbet (Neopsilopogon americanum) is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets, 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 black-masked barbet is medium-large, at 28 centimeters (11 inches) in length and 99–150 grams (3.5–5.3 ounces) in weight. It is primarily dark green, with a red crown and a yellow spot below each eye, black "mask" over its face, and a blue throat and eyebrow. Females resemble males, but are duller. The black-masked barbet is an omnivorous bird and feeds on fruits (including figs) and arthropods (including insects). The male's territorial call is a very loud kay-oh. The alarm is a harsh keeab, and another call is a repetitive piou-piou-piou-piou. The black-masked barbet's nesting season is from April to July. It typically builds nests in tree holes. Both male and females take care of the young. The conservation status of the black-masked barbet is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the black-masked barbet's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
