Some of the country's most notable avian species include the resplendent quetzal, scarlet macaw, three-wattled bellbird, bare-necked umbrellabird, and the keel-billed toucan.
A tree in the required stage of decomposition is susceptible to weather damage, and the availability of suitable trees may limit the resplendent quetzal population.
Female upperside, fore wing: bluish purple, paler outwardly, in certain lights with a resplendent iridescence; costa and apex very broadly, termen somewhat more narrowly fuscous black.
