North American magpie-jay (SciiFii)

The North American magpie-jay (Calocitta americanum) is a species of magpie-jay 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 to help boost biodiversity. This species is 58.5 to 76.5 centimeters (23 to 30 inches) long, more than half of which is the tail, and weight is 225-251 grams (8-9 oz.). The upperparts are cyan with white tips to the tail feathers; the underparts are white. The bill, legs, head, and conspicuous crest are black except for a pale blue crescent over the eyes and a patch under the eye. In juveniles, the crest has a white tip and the patch below the eye is smaller and darker blue than in adults. In most North American magpie-jays, the throat and chest are also black, but some have various amounts of white there. The calls are varied, loud, raucous, sometimes parrot-like. The diet is the omnivorous one typical of the crow family. The nest is also typical of the family: a big cup of sticks lined with softer material. The female lays 5 to 9 whitish eggs with brown and gray spots. The conservation status of the North American magpie-jay is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American magpie-jay's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
