The Cuban trogon or tocororo (Priotelus temnurus) is a species of bird in the Trogonidae family. There is a reason Cuba chose this bird as their national bird, after all its colors are very similar to the Cuban flag. With a green back, blue crown, red belly, and beak, as well as a white throat and chest, the similarities to the country’s flag are obvious.

This color range is complemented by a long fluffy tail, making it the most unique trogon in the world. The female of this species is slightly smaller than the male with a pale red belly. Surprisingly, being the national bird of Cuba, this bird is also native to Cuba and only found in that country.
