The American paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone americanum) is a species of medium-sized passerine bird 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. Male American paradise flycatchers have elongated central tail feathers, and a black and rufous plumage in some populations, while others have white plumage. Females are short-tailed with rufous wings and a black head. Adult American paradise flycatchers are 19–22 centimeters (7.5–8.7 inches ) long. American paradise flycatchers feed on insects, which they capture in the air often below a densely canopied tree. The American paradise flycatcher is a noisy bird uttering sharp skreek calls. It sits very upright whilst perched prominently, like a shrike. It is insectivorous and hunts in flight in the understorey. In the afternoons, it dives from perches to bathe in small pools of water. Its breeding season lasts from March to May. Being socially monogamous both male and female take part in nest-building, incubation, brooding and feeding of the young. The incubation period lasts 14 to 16 days and the nestling period 9 to 12 days. Three or four eggs are laid in a neat cup nest made with twigs and spider webs on the end of a low branch. The nest is sometimes built in the vicinity of a breeding pair of drongos and blackbirds, which keep predators away. Chicks hatch in about 21 to 23 days. The conservation status of the American paradise flycatcher is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American paradise flycatcher's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
