🌎 Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) The male Resplendent Quetzal is a stunning iridescent green with a red belly and an exceptionally long, flowing green tail train. Females are duller with a shorter tail. Quetzals inhabit montane cloud forests from Southern Mexico to Western Panama. Generally shy and quiet, they become more vocal and perform elaborate displays during the breeding season. They mainly eat fruit, especially wild avocados. Two subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Near Threatened (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The Resplendent Quetzal is the National Bird of Guatemala. Its image is on the country's flag and coat of arms, and the national currency is called the Quetzal. It is the only bird in the world with the word "Resplendent" in its common name! 📷: Photo by Drosera74 via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/quetzal-bird-nature-colorful-9850089/ VBLA

🌎 Cuban trogon (Priotelus temnurus) The Cuban trogon, Cuba's national bird, is a striking, medium-sized bird (10-11 inches) with iridescent green upperparts, a blue head, white throat/chest, and a brilliant red belly. Its unique tail is long and scalloped, often appearing black and white barred. Endemic to Cuba, including some surrounding cays, it inhabits wet and dry forests at all altitudes, favouring shady areas. Typically seen alone or in pairs, Cuban trogons are rather inactive, often perching upright. They feed on insects, fruits, and flowers, often hovering. Their distinctive call is a repeated "toco-toco-tocoro-tocoro," which gives them their local name, tocororo. They nest in tree cavities, often abandoned woodpecker holes. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Two subspecies are recognised.
