Not sure how to describe it or even what is is. Is it some kind of state bird?. The text only read "párajo quetzal".

Welcome to the forum.

I recommend that you have a little patience and be nice to people.

Believe it or not, we don't know everything on this forum. When you haven't gotten a reply it usually means nobody who is currently viewing the forum knows the answer. Or you posted at an odd time when there aren't that many people active on the forum.

As for your question, queztal is an indigenous name, Here's the Wiki page:

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzal

Yes, it's in Spanish, but there's probably an English version that you should be able find with a little effort.

By doing a simple Google search, I also found this:

el famoso quetzal de cola larga de Centroamérica, el cual es el ave símbolo de la República de Guatemala

It basically says the párajo quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala.

Between the site translator and Google, you can often answer questions like this without too much effort.

it's not 'Párajo' is 'Pájaro'--- complete name (Pájaro quetzal)

El quetzal es un ave en peligro de extinción, y habita en el sur de México y en Centroamérica.

Tiene un plumaje muy llamativo, con el cuerpo verde y el pecho rojo, todo con iridiscencias, y siendo las plumas de la cola y las alas más largas que las del resto del cuerpo.

Saludos

Quetzal, que linda. Me vi las hembras y machos que son más bonitos en parke national Monte Verde. Son más bellos que el pavo real. Y cuando el macho vuela su cola siga ondulado.
