According to the ancient Maya of Central America, the king of the birds was the quetzal. Indeed, the quetzal was striking, with its brilliant colors. And it still is regarded highly among the descendants of the Maya civilization. For it's the national bird of Guatemala. According to many peoples, in different parts of the United States and over different times, it's the eagle. In fact, the eagle's on the great seal of the U.S. Elsewhere, it has been just as popular as the national symbol of different countries and empires, such as the Byzantine and Napoleonic. And examples of its choice, as a key element to a country's coat of arms, can be found worldwide. Just a few examples are Albania, Egypt, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Pakistan, Panama, and Russia.
