About the artwork
The quetzal is a bird from Central America, belonging to the family of trogons. It is the national bird of the Central American country of Guatemala.
It is searching for a needle in a haystack. The quetzal is very shy and cautious.
We came across this bird in Costa Rica. Now I must correct myself, we went looking hoping I could capture the quetzal. After 2 hours of sitting still and especially listening carefully to the sounds, this female came to sit on a branch in front of us. So close, I could actually dream it. Eventually, we spotted the graceful male in the distance.
According to many, the quetzal is the most beautiful species in the trogon family. Both males and females have a metallic shiny green head, back and wings, a bright red breast and white undertail feathers. In females, however, the colours are somewhat less exuberant than in males, and often the metallic green is replaced by brown feathers.
The quetzal feeds mainly on fruit, especially wild avocados. These are swallowed whole, after which the flesh is digested in the stomach. The large seed is spat out again, so the quetzal contributes to the spread of avocado trees. Quetzals also eat insects, spiders, small tree frogs and geckos.
