The Guatemalan National Bird is the Quetzal, known for its vibrant green and red plumage. This bird is a symbol of freedom and beauty in Guatemala, and it is often associated with the country's rich cultural heritage. The Quetzal is also notable for its long tail feathers, which can be up to three feet long in males. The Quetzal primarily inhabits cloud forests in Central America, particularly in Guatemala, Mexico, and Costa Rica. It feeds mainly on fruits, insects, and small animals. Due to habitat loss and hunting, the Quetzal is considered near threatened, prompting conservation efforts to protect its natural environment.
