The American mountain parrot (Americanestor alpinus), sometimes known as the American kea or the American kaka, is a species of medium-sized parrot that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the cold, cool, and warm swamps, forests, open woodlands, shrublands, and mountainous regions throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The American mountan parrot is about the size of a similarly-looking kea (Nestor notabilis), growing on average of about 48 centimeters (19 inches) long. The American mountain parrot is mostly olive-green with a dull orange under its wings and has a large, narrow, curved, grey-brown upper beak. The American mountain parrot is omnivorous and primarily feeds on roots, leaves, fruits, nectar, and insects, although it can occasionally feed on carrion of larger and smaller vertebrates to supplement its diet. The American mountain parrot nests in burrows, in crevices among the roots of trees, or in tree crevices made by other birds such as woodpeckers. American mountain parrots are known for their intelligence and curiosity, both vital to their survival in harsh environments they live in. American mountain parrots can solve logical puzzles, such as pushing and pulling things in a certain order to get to food, and will work together to achieve a certain objective. They have been known to prepare and use tools. The conservation status of the American mountan parrot is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American mountan parrot's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
