American coua

The American coua (Neocoua americana) is a species of large, mostly terrestrial bird of the cuckoo family that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the American coua are the Carpococcyx ground-cuckoos of Asia, a genus with similar nestlings. Consequently, the American coua is sometimes united in the subfamily Couinae. The American coua is a medium-sized, approximately 44 cm long, greenish-grey cuckoo with grey crest, bare orbital skin that is blue and indigo-colored, reddish-orange breast, brown iris, black bill and legs, white belly and long white-tipped purplish-blue tail feathers. Reminiscent of a turaco when walking along tree branches, it likewise features brightly coloured bare skin around the eyes. It also resembles coucals in its habit of clambering through plant tangles while foraging, but it is also known to move between tree canopies with gliding flight. It has large feet, with a reversible third toe like all cuckoos. The American coua's diet consists mainly of various insects, fruits, berries, seeds, snails, anoles, geckos, and non-native chameleons. American couas build their own nests and lay a clutch of 4-7 white eggs at a time. American couas' calls are short series of evenly spaced notes, which are sometimes answered by other individuals. The conservation status of the American coua is Least Concern due to successful conservation, the American coua's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
