Torogoz , National bird of El SalvadorThe national bird of El Salvador was declared as such by a legislative compromise that was approved on October 21 , 1999 . This bird is also known in some places as the “ talapo ” because it received the honor of popularity for its singular beauty , which is observed in their plumage of many beautiful colors . The Torogoz is a bird that does not adapt well to captivity , it means that you cannot have it locked at home , also this bird is a symbol of family unity because reflects the participation in partners in the care of their chicks babies . Therefore , that was taken to the culture thanks to the national bird of the country . Despite being considered as a species in danger of extinction in El Salvador , you can see them in some mountainous areas of the north - eastern part of the country , as in Morazán , La Union and in Chalatenango .

It inhabits Central America from south - east Mexico ( mostly the Yucatán Peninsula ) , to Costa Rica , where it is common and not considered threatened . It lives in fairly open habitats such as forest edge , gallery forest and scrubland . It is more conspicuous than other motmots , often perching in the open on wires and fences . From these perches it scans for prey , such as insects and small reptiles . White eggs ( 3 – 6 ) are laid in a long tunnel nest in an earth bank or sometimes in a quarry or fresh - water well . Its name originates from the turquoise color of its brow . The bird is approximately 34 cm long and weighs about 65 g . It has a mostly green - blue body with a rufous back and belly . There is a bright blue stripe above the eye and a blue - bordered black patch on the throat . The flight feathers and upperside of the tail are blue . The tips of the tail feathers are shaped like rackets and the bare feather shafts are longer than in other motmots . Although it is often said that motmots pluck the barbs off their tail to create the racketed shape , this is not true ; the barbs are weakly attached and fall off due to abrasion with substrates and with routine preening . Unlike most bird species , where only males express elaborate traits , the turquoise - browed motmot expresses the extraordinary racketed tail in both sexes . Research indicates that the tail has evolved to function differently for the sexes . Males apparently use their tail as a sexual signal , as males with longer tails have greater pairing success and reproductive success . In addition to this function , the tail is used by both sexes in a wag - display , whereby the tail is moved back - and - forth in a pendulous fashion . [ 4 ] The wag - display is performed in a context unrelated to mating : both sexes perform the wag - display in the presence of a predator , and the display is thought to confer naturally selected benefits by communicating to the predator that it has been seen and that pursuit will not result in capture . This form of interspecific communication is referred to as a pursuit - deterrent signal . The call is nasal , croaking and far - carrying . The turquoise - browed motmot is a well - known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua . It has acquired a number of local names including guardabarranco ( " ravine - guard ") in Nicaragua , Torogoz in El Salvador ( based on its call ) and pájaro reloj ( " clock bird ") in the Yucatán , based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum . In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far - less flattering pájaro bobo ( " foolish bird "), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away .
