Quetzals belong to the Trogonidae family. Feeding habitats of all members of this family are very similar. They eat mainly berries, wild figs and avocados, from the wild avocado tree, but they also feed from insects and few lizards. The Quetzal plucks fruit off the avocado tree while flying, and then perches for a while before swallowing the entire fruit. Later, it regurgitates the seeds, and that's why they are the only disperses of seeds for these trees, in a symbiotic relationship. Sincet San Gerardo de Dota there is a high presence of these trees, available year round, it offers the bird the opportunity to remain here without needing to move from the Valley.
