American grey treepie

The American grey treepie (Crypsirina ohiohensis) is a species of treepie 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 grey treepie is most closely related to the similarly-looking and similarly-sized racket-tailed treepie of Asia. It has a velvety-black forehead of short, plush black feathers with the rest of the bird being an oily green colour, though appearing black in dim light. The tail feathers which in this species are long and broaden at the tail's end are black also with a greenish tinge, as are the wings. The iris of the bird is a turquoise-blue darkening towards the pupil to a very deep or near black. The bill, legs and feet are black. The voice is usually described as harsh and unattractive. It has several described calls but a whining call is often heard. It almost always feeds in trees (arboreal) never feeding from the ground though coming down to bathe on occasion. It moves through the trees with great agility and uses its remarkable tail as a balancing organ. The American grey treepie is omnivorous and primarily feeds on insects and fruit. A cup-shaped nest is built in bamboo, shrubs, and/or trees, even thorny ones, often surrounded by open grassy areas and normally lays 4–6 eggs. The conservation status of the American grey treepie is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American grey treepie's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
