🌎 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.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Great visit to El Tocororro, Cuban rte in Nerja a few weeks back. I like vertical gardens - always live the green - but inside... not sure. It can hardly help biodiversity inside - and the water and lighting cost. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Cool place though. 😎
