North American aracari (SciiFii)

The North American aracari ( Pteroglossus alpinus) is a species of aracari that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. At 30–40 cm. (12–16 in) long and weighing 110–160 grams (3.9–5.7 oz.), the North American aracari is one of the smallest known aracaris, and among the smallest members of the toucan family. Its diet consists mostly of fruit, nuts, seeds, and pinecones, including the fruits of cultivated trees. The serrated edges of the North American aracari's large bill help the bird to grip and gather fruit. Insects are also an occasional part of the diet, giving the birds protein. Breeding occurs from April to August. It nests in tree cavities, producing 3–5 white eggs, which hatches between 2-3 months. The parents cooperate in rearing their young. The conservation status of the North American aracari is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American aracari's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
