thumb|Male masked trogonTrogon personatus temperatus The trogons and quetzals are birds in the order Trogoniformes which contains only one family, the Trogonidae. The family Trogonidae contains 49 species in seven genera. The fossil record of the trogons dates back 49 million years to the Early Eocene. They might constitute a member of the basal radiation of the order Coraciiformes and order Passeriformes or be closely related to mousebirds and owls. The word trogon is Greek for "nibbling" and refers to the fact that these birds gnaw holes in trees to make their nests.
Trogons are a family of colorful birds found in tropical regions that have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years, with a fossil record stretching back 49 million years. The name "trogon" comes from a Greek word meaning "nibbling," referring to their distinctive behavior of gnawing holes in trees to create nesting cavities.

咬鹃目(学名:Trogoniformes)在动物分类学上是鸟纲中的一个目,其下只有一个科咬鹃科(学名:Trogonidae),包括8属39种。其特点是羽色艳丽,生存在热带、亚热带的树林里。 目录 1 分布 2 习性 3 分类 4 参考资料 分布 咬鹃科鸟分布在热带和亚热带地区,包括东洋界、热带界和新热带界。 习性 咬鹃科的鸟为树栖性,善爬不善走、跳,飞行能力不强,不爱远飞,这一科的鸟不迁徙。以果实或昆虫为食,多在枯朽树木的树洞中营巢,雏鸟晚成。 分类 也有分类把这一目归于佛法僧目(Coraciformes)的一个亚目——咬鹃亚目,近些年多数学者认为这种分类没有反映出进化中的差异性,所以把咬鹃亚目处理为目级。 角咬鹃属(Euptilotis) 咬鹃属 红腹咬鹃 (Harpactes wardi) 绿咬鹃属(Pharomachrus) 格查尔鸟 (Pharomachrus mocinno) 古巴咬鹃属 古巴咬鹃 (Priotelus temnurus) 美洲咬鹃属 非洲咬鹃属 (Apaloderma) 蓝尾咬鹃属(Apalharpactes) 参考资料 维基共享资源中相关的多媒体资源:咬鹃目 中国动物志 鸟纲 第七卷 科学出版社 2003年 ISBN 7-03-011418-3 查 论 编 鸟类现代分类(DNA分类系统,传统分类系统) 小纲 目 平胸亚纲(Paleognathae) 无翼鸟目(Apterygiformes) 鹤鸵目(Casuariiformes) 美洲鸵鸟目(Rheiformes) 鸵鸟目(Struthioniformes) 䳍形目(Tinamiformes) 雞雁小綱(Galloanserae) 雁形目(Anseriformes) 鸡形目(Galliformes) 新鸟小纲(Neoaves) 鸊鷉目(Podicipediformes) 鹱形目(Procellariiformes) 鹈形目(Pelecaniformes) 鹳形目(Ciconiiformes) 隼形目(Falconiformes) 鹤形目(Gruiformes) 鸻形目(Charadriiformes) 鸽形目(Columbiformes) 雀形目(Passeriformes) 鹦形目(Psittaciformes) 鹃形目(Cuculiformes) 鸮形目(Strigiformes) 夜鹰目(Caprimulgiformes) 雨燕目(Apodiformes) 鼠鸟目(Coliiformes) 咬鹃目(Trogoniformes) 佛法僧目(Coraciiformes) 鴷形目(Piciformes) 犀鸟目(Bucerotiformes) 鵑鴗目(Leptosomatiformes) 麝雉目(Opisthocomiformes) 企鹅目(Sphenisciformes) 潜鸟

Trogons are residents of tropical forests worldwide. The greatest diversity is in the Neotropics, where four genera, containing 34 species, occur. The genus Apaloderma contains the three African species. The genera Harpactes and Apalharpactes, containing twelve species, are found in southeast Asia.
