So, I was reading this World Atlas. When I came to the section on Central America and Carribbean, I saw this beautiful bird named Quetzal. This bird has brightly colored feathers and long tail. This bird is the national bird of Guatemala. Source : 'Atlas of My World' by Parragon Books. Image : taken from book

@Icydoll Slightly better each day but it is taking time. I am trying to be active still as well as taking steam actively.

@Icydoll I did not go to the Doctor. I go to a Doctor or consult if it seems that there is something that would be much more serious. Most doctors prescribe some medicines with which I sometimes have side effects or after effects, and well I avoid taking them. Plus with cough and cold, I have found steam, Hot water, Chewable Throat Lozenges (like Vicks, Cofsils etc) and tea to be more useful. I know that this is not what many advise, but this is what I find more suitable.

The avian world has so many beautiful and colorful species. This one is very pretty. Our national bird is the Philippine eagle, I think. Used to be the lowly and ordinary maya (sparrow).

@eileenleyva Why was the bird changed?

@eileenleyva Something similar to why our national animal was changed from Lion to a much more (then) endangered Tiger in 1972 to increase awareness about its conservation.

@eileenleyva The Royal Bengal Tiger is well known. Asiatic Lions are concentrated in Gir Forest sanctuary in Gujarat in Western India.
