Phoenix (SciiFii)

The phoenix (Phoenix ignis) is a species of neotropical parrot, most closely related to the macaws, 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 and South America to help boost biodiversity, although some have been either deliberately or accidentally released by pet owners in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, Great Britain, and mainland Europe, where they are, by all accounts, thriving and breeding in the wild. The phoenix is a medium-sized parrot, with the average length measuring 90 centimeters (11.8 inches), including its long tail feathers. Compared with many macaws, the phoenix is able to tolerate colder temperatures, not only the warm tropical or subtropical climates. As an omnivore, the phoenix primarily feeds on fruits, pinecones, nuts, seeds, buds, and insects. The phoenix males possesses the tall head crests, unlike the females, and they use them to intimate rivals and to attract the females. The phoenix is quite solitary, unlike many of its relatives, being mostly seen in pairs, and they are heavily territorial, especially during the breeding season either in the early wet season in the tropics or during the spring in colder regions. The eggs of the phoenix are vibrantly colored, being dappled in a shade of black, red, and yellow. The eggs hatch during early summer, and the young are cared for until the early autumn, when the young are fully-feathered juveniles and must fend for themselves. The average lifespan of the phoenix is around 125 years, making the phoenix one of the longest-living wild birds. The conservation status of the phoenix is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the phoenix's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
