Local Bird featured on the 10 dollar Bank Note
The Cocrico (Ortalis ruficauda)
The Cocrico is the national bird of Tobago. Known locally as ‘Chachalaca’, the cocorico resides in the hill-forest areas of the island and can sometimes be seen amidst the dry scrubby lands bordering the cultivated areas. Generally, Cocricos are olive brown in colour with a grey head and neck and a long, broad, bronze tail. Its legs are dark blue with orbital rings and its bare throat, red. The Cocrico, together with the Scarlet Ibis, are featured on Trinidad and Tobago’s Coat of Arms and are also featured on the country’s ten (10) dollar note.
