Trogon \Tro"gon\, n. [NL.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any one of numerous species of beautiful tropical birds
belonging to the family {Trogonid[ae]}. They are noted for
the brilliant colors and the resplendent luster of their
plumage.
Note: Some of the species have a train of long brilliant
feathers lying over the tail and consisting of the
upper tail coverts. Unlike other birds having two toes
directed forward and two backward, they have the inner
toe turned backward. A few species are found in Africa
and India, but the greater number, including the most
brilliant species, are found in tropical America. See
Illust. of {Quesal}.
