Trogon violaceus
This bird is around 9 inches high, it has a bright blue head and back with a yellow chest and barred undertail.
A resident of tropical south American forests and also an inhabitant of Trinidad. Usually nesting in old rotten trees or discarded termite nests.
If this bird wasnt so brightly coloured you would hardly even know he was there as he justs sits quietly in a branch and doesnt move around or create any sort of rustling to alert you to his presence.
