Trogons are brightly colored birds found in tropical forests worldwide. They are known for their vibrant plumage, often with metallic sheens, and their unique heterodactyl feet (two toes forward, two toes backward). These birds are primarily insectivorous, catching insects on the wing or gleaning them from foliage. Trogons are typically solitary or found in pairs, and they nest in cavities in trees or banks.
