Uncaged Quetzals

Quetzals inhabit the lush canopy layer of Central American rainforests, primarily dining on fruits like wild avocados, lizards, and insects. These elusive birds prefer nesting in the tallest, oldest trees that soar above 3,600 feet. This lesson invites you to explore the beauty of the quetzal through art while discussing the implications of keeping birds in captivity, as seen at Jurong Bird Park. You’ll draw an uncaged quetzal to symbolize freedom, and contrast it with ideas about caged birds, sparking a creative dialogue about nature and captivity.
