Description

Ancestor: Haemorhous cassinii (Cassin's finch)
Description: The Buitre's pseudo-heron (Calcarerodios spoliatus) is a medium-sized (70-90 cm wingspan) American dipper descendant native to Conmaria's rainforests, where they live close to water bodies.
These birds spend most of their time on the ground and have a pretty generalist behavior, being both waders quite similar to bitterns and Shoebills, while also hunting prey on foot. When fishing, the preferred way is to either perch on roots of water trees or to wade around the margin. In their beak's, the pseudo herons have plate like tomia which both help them to hold prey and during intraspecific combat.
Even though they prefer to be left alone for the most part, these animals are not to be messed up with, being commonly seen fighting other members of their own species with their spurs and talons.
When the time to mate arrives, the males will court females by making a dance where they open up their tail fan (which is overgrown in males), open their wings and turn their heads downwards, showing all of his colorful bits. When a pair is formed, both parents will be socially monogamous in a relationship where the individual clutch of 2 eggs, which are incubated for around 40 days. Once the offspring hatch, they will be taken care for 54 days before fledging and being left on their on in a few weeks. Buitre's pseudo-herons may live up to 18 years.

This is a profile for a species in the Xantholia:yellowstone spec evo project.
