Rice finch (SciiFii)

The rice finch (Psudeopadda oryza) is a species of small songbird of the New World warbler family, despite its name or appearance, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The rice sparrow is about 15 to 17 centimeters (5.9 to 6.7 inches) in length from the beak to its tip of tail feathers. Although only about the size of a house sparrow, it is a rather large species among the New World warblers. The adult is unmistakable, with its grey upperparts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill. Both sexes are similar. Immature birds have brown upperparts and pale brown underparts, and a plain head. Very young birds have a black beak with a pink base. The call is a chip, and the song is a rapid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip. The rice finch is a very gregarious bird which feeds mainly on grain and other seeds. It frequents open woodlands, open grasslands, shrublands, and cultivation, and is an occasional pest in rice fields, hence its name. The nest is constructed in a tree or building, and up to nine eggs are laid. The conservation status of the rice finch is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the rice finch's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
