Sumatran Trogon

Apalharpactes mackloti

The Sumatran Trogon is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Sumatra, Indonesia. It has a distinctive appearance with a bright red belly, green back, and black and white striped wings. This species is known for its unique call, which is often heard in the dense undergrowth of its habitat. Sumatran Trogons primarily feed on insects and small fruits, and they are known for their agile flight and perching behavior. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the population of Sumatran Trogons is declining, and conservation efforts are underway to protect their remaining forest habitats.
