American weaver (SciiFii)

The American weaver (Construonidusornis imperialis) is a species of weaver-like finch that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. This often abundant species occurs in a wide range of open or semi-open habitats, often including human habitation, and frequently forms large noisy colonies in cities, towns, suburbs, villages and hotel grounds. This species of finch builds a large coarsely woven nest, similar to those made by African weavers and Central and South American oropendolas, made of grass and leaf strips with a downward facing entrance which is suspended from a branch in a tree. Three five to eggs are laid. American weavers are colonial breeders, so many nests may hang from one tree. American weavers feed principally on seeds and grain, and can be a crop pest, but it will readily take insects, especially when feeding young, which partially redresses the damage to agriculture. The calls of this bird include harsh buzzes and chattering. The conservation status of the American weaver is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American weaver's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
