American pheasant pigeon

The American pheasant pigeon (Otidiphapornis regalis) is a species of large terrestrial pigeon 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. Despite its name or appearance, the American pheasant pigeon is not closely related to the Asian pheasant pigeon (Otidiphaps nobilis), but is most closely related to the band-tailed pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata), likely created to simulate convergent evolution. The American pheasant pigeon resembles a pheasant in external morphology, particularly in its laterally compressed tail and the rounded wings. They have glossy black heads, undersides, rears and lower backs, and short rounded brown wings, and a white, green, grey, or black nape depending on the population. It is a highly secretive species, feeding on seeds and fallen fruits. It nests on the ground below trees and bushes, laying one egg that it incubates for around four weeks. Both adults incubate and look after the young, feeding regurgitated crop milk to their young (a common practice for most pigeons). They have a range of calls including a drilling- like sound, a typical pigeon cooing call and a loud "wu-huwoooooa" call which rises and falls in pitch before trailing off at the end. The conservation status of the American pheasant pigeon is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American pheasant pigeon's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
