Quetzal
Hi, I reverted your edit to quetzal. You seem to have misunderstood what the article was about, it's about all the quetzal species, not just the resplendent quetzal that you appear to have in mind. You said in your edit summary The quetzal is native to Guatemala, is the national bird of Guatemala, and is also the currency in Guatemala but nowhere in this God-forsaken page is there any mentioning of Guatemala. but the text clearly says ''The word quetzal was originally used for just the resplendent quetzal... which is the national bird and the name of the currency of Guatemala. It still often refers to that bird specifically but now also names all the species of the genera Pharomachrus and Euptilotis.''

If you make changes, you should provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts, and you should be particularly careful if you are not a fluent reader of English, and don't fully understand the text. Note also that you should try to be polite in your edit summary, especially when, as in this case, you don't appear to have understood the article at all.

 * I notice that you also changed the text to say that the eared quetzal, Euptilotis neoxenus, is found mainly in Guatemala and the southern US, rather than northern Mexico and the US. As far as I know, that species does not occur in Guatemala. If you assert that it does, again you will need an independent verifiable sources. Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  09:40, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
