Can you have a quetzal as a pet?
No, definitely not. The quetzal bird is considered one of the world's most beautiful birds, and part of it's mystique is probably due to the fact that it can't really be kept in captivity. When put in a cage, quetzal birds have been observed to kill themselves or die for unknown reasons. Since it was thought that it can only live in the wild, the quetzal has become a symbol of "freedom" in some parts of Central America. However, it has been recently proved that under certain circumstances quetzal can survive in captivity since there is a zoo in Mexico that has successfully kept quetzals alive since 1994. But as far as keeping it as a pet -- unfortunately, they are an endangered species and since it is almost impossible to keep them alive in a cage, that is out of the question...
