What is a Quetzal?

Quite fascinating, am I…the Quetzal.
Unlike many birds, I am very colorful. Green, red, white and sometimes purple.
Eating bugs, lizards and avocado nuts as I go.
The cloud forest is my home. My nest is soft as a leather throne.
Zoos are not the place for me.
An ant colony, a family of sloths and a nest of pit vipers all live in my forest.
Legend has it that the phoenix is based on me.
