Sedgwick County Zoo

Golden-headed quetzal

While primarily a solitary bird, the golden-headed quetzal mates for life. During mating season, the male sings to draw attention from females. The pair will make their nest in a tree cavity, where both parents will take turns incubating the one or two eggs laid.
