PRE- lest BIRD IN WORLD
Quexal Of South Guatemala Takes
Beauty Prize Among Feathered
Creatures.

What is considered the most beauti-
fIl bird in the world Is, the Quezal, of
Guatemala. Until within the last few
years it was unknown to science,
among the feathered creatures, de-
lighting in the silence of, high alti-
tudes. It dwells on mountain heights
above 1000 feet in elevation.
The quezal was the royal bird o.
the ancient Aztecs, and Its plumes
we're used to decorate the head
dresses and cloaks of their kings. The
quezals breast is a brilliant scarlet.
while its green tail attainsy length
of three feet. It is about the size o.
the common pigeon. It nests in holes
in rotten trees, which it enlarges with
it's bill, so as to make roomy and
comfortable residence. The young
are Matched totally devoid of feathers.
1t is the hardest OF all birds to pre-
pare for mounting, for its skin is as
tender as so much tissue paper, and
the feathers are implanted to such a
slight depth that they readily fall out.
A specimen is very apt to be spoiled
by falling against a branch of q tree
on being shot. .,s@ Il er
Up to 1860, naturalists did not know.
where the quezal was to be found.
The few specimens which had fallen
into their hands had been obtained
from Indians, who kept the secret.
About that time, however, a collector,
Visiting that country, got on the track
OF the birds and went up into the
mountains, where he shot q numb yer of
them. In ancient times the skins of
all birds Of this species belonged to
the king, and none but members of the
royal family were allowed to wear the
feathers. N {. Y: 4 &
The quezal belongs to the family Of
tragons. the genus including forty:six
species, thirty-three of which are
American. All are very beautiful and
Extremely rare.
