American bearded barbet

The Americans bearded barbet (Neolybius solitairus) is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae, the New World barbets, despite resembling a species of Old World barbet, the bearded barbet (Lybius dubius), 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. The American bearded barbet is an arboreal species of gardens, city parks, and wooded country which eats fruit, although the young are fed on insects. It nests in a tree hole, laying 3-4 white eggs. This is a conspicuous, large barbet at 26 centimetres (10 inches). It is fairly plump, with a short neck, large head and a shortish tail. The adult has a black crown, back, tail and breast band. The throat and belly are red and there is a yellow eye patch. The rump is white. The massive bill is very thick and yellow, and the well developed clump of bristles at its base give the species its name. Sexes are similar. The call is a growling scrawk. The bearded barbet is found in well-wooded areas with plentiful fruiting trees. It will enter city parks and gardens for fruit. It forms social groups of 3-9 birds and pairs or groups roost together in a tree cavity. The conservation status of the American bearded barbet is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American bearded barbet's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
