The torogoz is the national bird of El Salvador. With its beautiful turquoise, orange and green colours, it is considered a family symbol because the female and the male together take care of their baby birds. The torogoz is also known as the clock bird because of its tail: two long feathers whose movements resemble those of a pendulum clock.
