American bird-of-paradise

The American birds-of-paradise (Americaparadisaeidae) are a family of birds of the order Passeriformes 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 South America to help boost biodiversity. Despite their appearances, the American birds-of-paradise are not related to "true" birds-of-paradise of New Guinea, and are actually most closely related to finches of the Fringillidae family. The family has 27 species in 10 genera. Like "true" birds-of-paradise of New Guinea, which are unrelated to the American birds-of-paradise, the members of this family are best known for the plumage of the males of the species (the majority) which are sexually dimorphic, in particular the very long elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head. The diet of all species is dominated by fruits, seeds, and, to a lesser extent, worms and arthropods. The American birds-of-paradise have a variety of breeding systems, ranging from monogamy to lek-type polygamy. All known American birds-of-paradise species mimic each species of New Guinea birds-of-paradise in size, appearance, locomotion, and vocalizations, as the scientists and zoologists who created American birds-of-paradise intended to have them being as close to true birds-of-paradise as possible while retaining the birds' tolerance to freezing temperatures and their adaptability to a wide range of habitats, including cities and suburbs as examples. The conservation status of every known species of American birds-of-paradise is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American birds-of-paradise's wide range and their tolerance to many of the human activities.
