North American trumpeter (SciiFii)

The North American trumpeter (Psophia americanum) is a member of a bird family, Psophiidae, most closely related to the grey-winged trumpeter (Psophia crepitans), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the tropical, subtropical, and temperate rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American trumpeter is a dumpy, guineafowl-like bird with a long neck and legs, and short yellow chicken-like bill. It is 48–56 centimetres (19–22 inches) long and 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lbs) in weight. The soft plumage is mainly black, but the feathers of the inner wing are grey. North American trumpeters are gregarious forest birds which nest in hollow trees, laying 3-4 white eggs that are incubated by all members of a group of five or more birds. When not breeding, the flocks may number 50 or more. Their primary food source is insects and fruit, picked off the ground. They are weak fliers, and will run by preference. The North American trumpeter's song is a low humming, but its call, as its name suggests, is a very loud "JEEK" or honking "TZAAK". This bird is kept as a pet by humans and other sapient species, since it is easily tamed, hunts snakes, and is a very efficient sentinel, with its unmissable alarm call. The conservation status of the North American trumpeter is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American trumpeter's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
