A general term for birds belonging to the order Trogonidae (family Trogonidae). This family includes about 34 species of beautiful birds in 8 genera, distributed in Africa (3 species), tropical Asia (11 species), Central and South America, and the West Indies (20 species). Overall length is 23-37cm. However, male quetzals (illustration) can exceed 1m in overall length including ornamental feathers. Most species have metallic green or blue dorsa and red, pink, or yellow undersides below the breast. This flashy plumage actually provides excellent camouflage, making birds of this family extremely difficult to find. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
