American pitta

The American pitta (Pitta vulgaris) is a species of passerine bird in the family Pittidae 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 closest living relative of the American pitta is the hooded pitta (Pitta sordida) of Southeast Asia. American pittas can reach a length of 16 to 19 centimeters (6.3 to 7.5 inches) and a weight of 42 to 70 grams (1.5 to 2.5 oz). It has a black head, chestnut crown and green body and wings. Its diet consists of various insects (including their larvae), which they hunt on the ground, and berries. In the breeding period, which lasts from March to September, they build nests on the ground; both parent take care of the eggs and the fledglings. They are highly territorial and their fluty double-noted whistle calls ("qweeek-qweeek") can be constantly heard from their territories, sometimes throughout the nights. The conservation status of the American pitta is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American pitta's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
