The American black treepie (Temnurus californianus) is a species of bird in the crow and jay family Corvidae 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 black treepie is most closely related to the similarly-looking and similarly-sized ratchet-tailed treepie of Asia, with the length of about 35 centimeters. Often seen in small family units, with pairs engaging in loud duets, the American black treepie gives out screechy “klee” and “klee’aw” calls, as well as rising squawks. It usually feeds in trees (arboreal), although it can also feed from the ground and to come down to bathe. It moves through the trees with great agility and uses its remarkable tail as a balancing organ. It is omnivorous and feeds mainly insects and fruits. A cup-shaped nest is built in bamboo, shrubs, and/or trees, even thorny ones, often surrounded by open grassy areas and normally lays 3–5 eggs. The conservation status of the American black treepie is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American black treepie's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
