The Clown Protobird is one of the most primitive of birds in modern times. It evolved from Liaoxiornis that survived extinction and remained unchanged. It lives in China, where it feeds on small flying insects, but this species was introduced to North America and Europe by humans. Just like all other protobirds, it has no fear of humans. It is named because of its feather coloration, which depends on different birds of a same species, males can be Yellow-Orange-Red, Orange-Red-Pink, Red-Pink-Purple, Pink-Purple-Blue, Purple-Blue-Green, Blue-Green-Yellow, Green-Yellow-Orange, etc., while females on the other hand are always brown or gray. These birds with different colors on males were once thought to be seperated species, but their dna confirms that all of the male clown protobirds are all
