Turquoise-browed motmot (Eumomota superciliosa)

The turquoise-browed motmot (Eumomota superciliosa) otherwise called Torogoz, is a brilliant, medium-sized winged creature of the motmot family, Momotidae. It possesses Central America from south-east Mexico (for the most part the Yucatán Peninsula), to Costa Rica, where it is normal and not thought about compromised. It lives in genuinely open living spaces, for example, timberland edge, display woods and scrubland. It is more obvious than different motmots, regularly roosting in the open on wires and fences. From these roosts it filters for prey, for example, bugs and little reptiles. White eggs (3– 6) are laid in a long passage home in an earth bank or now and then in a quarry or new water well. Its name begins from the turquoise shade of its forehead. It was first proclaimed as the official national flying creature of El Salvador in 1999, where the fowl is known as Torogoz. The fledgling is roughly 34 cm (13 in) long and weighs around 65 g (2.3 oz). It has a generally green-blue body with a rufous back and paunch. There is a splendid blue stripe over the eye and a blue-flanked dark fix on the throat. The flight quills and upperside of the tail are blue. The tips of the tail quills are formed like rackets and the exposed plume shafts are longer than in different motmots. Despite the fact that it is regularly said that motmots cull the thorns off their tail to make the racketed shape, this isn't valid; the points are pitifully connected and tumble off because of scraped spot with substrates and with routine trimming. In contrast to most fowl species, where just guys express expound characteristics, the turquoise-browed motmot communicates the exceptional racketed tail in both genders. Research shows that the tail has advanced to work contrastingly for the genders. Guys evidently utilize their tail as a sexual sign, as guys with longer tails have more prominent matching achievement and regenerative achievement. The turquoise-browed motmot is a notable winged creature in its range and has been picked as the national feathered creature of both El Salvador and Nicaragua.
