Trogon antisianus D'Orbigny The crested quetzal /ketSAHL/ (Pharomachrus antisianus) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae native to South America, where it is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

The head and upperparts of the adult male are metallic green, while its breast and belly are red.

[3] The crested quetzal is found along the Andes from Bolivia through Ecuador, Peru and Colombia to Venezuela, in pristine and mature second-growth forest from 1,200–3,000 m (4,000–10,000 ft) in altitude.

[3] It has been rated as least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as it has a large range and its population appears to be stable.

[3] Adults raising young also catch more nutritious prey such as arthropods and small vertebrates; one such item recorded was the glassfrog species Hyalinobatrachium pallidum.
