The American giraffe bird (Allomullerornis giraffa) is a species of large flightless bird of the order Gastornithiformes that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the American giraffe bird is the Euroamerican thunderbird (Gastornis psittacostruthioides), despite resembling the ostrich demon duck (Genyornis australiensis) of Australia. The American giraffe bird stands over two metres in height and weigh twice as heavy as an ostrich. Despite its fearsome appearance, it is actually a peaceful herbivore that mainly feeds on large nuts, fruits, and shrubs with the help of its beak and long neck (hence its name), and using its beak and claws only for defense if it is threatened or just feels threatened. The conservation status of the ostrich demon duck is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the American giraffe bird's wide range.
