Common bronzewing

The common bronzewing (Phaps chalcoptera) is a species of medium-sized, heavily built pigeon. The species is native to the southern Orchid Isles and has been introduced and naturalized in Parania and Pasia. the common bronzewing is able to live in almost any habitat, with the possible exception of very barren areas and dense rainforests. 
== History in Parania ==
The common bronzewing is an incredibly common bird in Orchid Isle with a population of up to 23,000,000 across the country, up to 386 individuals are found per sq km. The bronzewing was intentionally released by Paranian explorer, Johano Hernandez, who loved the birds so much that he captured 70 of the birds in Orchid Isle to bring back home with him to Bilva; he released the birds in a thicket not fair from his home which is likely located in central Bilva due to Johano Hernandez's backstory stating that he was born in Figaro, a small and attractive village located near the entire center of the country, the birds then grew so successful that they expanded their range to surrounding countries such as Orirbella, Cantango, Lobevia, Jabala, the Celestial Islands, the Abramos Republic, and Silegre where they became a common game bird for hunters. In 1870, the birds have expanded their range from northern Jabala to central Apelchem where they were restricted to the central part of the continent at the time but were then spotted in Minuka, Kosna, Obnivir, and Hartnett. By the 1930s, they have been spotted in every country except for the coldest reaches of Elsenord, Parlinn, Cheskachena and Vindborg and have been spotted across the entire east coast of Pasia and as well as Jabala and Peisybaku. 
== Distribution and habitat ==
Today the bronzewing is found everywhere in Parania but Elsenord, Vindborg, Panstivo, most of Hartnett, and southwestern Kosna; likely due to the extreme dryness or humidity of the country which bronzewings dislike. In Pasia, they are found in Peisybaku, Jabala, Mecirhan, Kafaniyat and northern Avishaman but steer clear of the very dry deserts and chaparrals, they are found elsewhere in large numbers.
