Western peacock-pheasant (SciiFii)

The western peacock-pheasant (Polyplectron griseo) is a species of medium-sized gamebird that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across the western parts of North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the western peacock-pheasants are the similarly-looking grey peacock-pheasants (Polyplectron bicalcaratum). It is a large pheasant, up to 76 centimeters long and greyish brown with finely spotted green eyespots, an elongated bushy crest, bare pink or yellow facial skin, white throat, and grey iris, bill and legs. The sexes are rather similar, but the female is smaller, darker and less ornamented than the male. The young resemble the female. The diet consists mainly of seeds, termites, fruits and invertebrates. The female usually lays 5 to 7 eggs at a time. The conservation status of the western peacock-pheasant is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the western peacock-pheasant's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
