Yellow-breasted trogon (SciiFii)

The yellow-breasted trogon (Neotrogon aurupectus) is a species of trogon 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 northern Central America to help boost biodiversity. This trogon measures 28 centimeters (11 inches) and weighs about 89.4 grams (3.15 oz). Males and females both have bright yellow underparts with a narrow band of white separating the yellow from a dark chest. Distinctive markings include a dark eye surrounded by a light blue eye ring and black tail feathers with broad white tips. Males have black heads and breasts with a blue-green sheen on the nape, back and wings. Females are similar, but duller yellow below and slate grey above, with none of the blue-green sheen of the male. They eat both fruit and insects, which they capture during brief sallies from an exposed perch. The yellow-breasted trogon either excavates its nest in active termitaria in the branches of trees or uses abandoned tree crevices made by other birds. It lays 3–4 white eggs which are incubated for 17 days. Chicks are capable of flight 16–17 days after hatching. The conservation status of the yellow-breasted trogon is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the yellow-breasted trogon's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
