White-headed goose (SciiFii)

The white-headed goose (Anser albavisio) is a species of goose that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, lakes, rivers, ponds, and coastal areas across North America to help boost biodiversity. The white-headed goose is iridescent purple-gray in color as an adult and grows to 66–71 centimetres (26–28 in) in length. Adults have a black chin and throat, a pink bill, yellow-orange legs, and a white head, which often turns reddish-brown in summer. In the winter, the white-headed goose migrates to the southern parts of the United States and throughout Central America. In the summer, it migrates northerly several tens or hundreds of miles to throughout the United States and Canada, where older individuals breed monogamously. Nests are constructed in holes and built up with vegetation and feathers. Eggs hatch in late June and early July, and goslings leave the nest the day they hatch. The species is an omnivore, and feeds primarily on shoots, roots, short grasses, berries, bivalve molluscs, and algae. The white-headed goose makes vocalizations that are more nasal than those of other geese. The conservation status of the white-headed goose is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the white-headed goose's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
