Answer 1

You're talking about a "quetzal" - they are from Central America and really are so beautiful. Here is a picture:

Answer 2

The species you're mentioning is the Quetzal from south America. It's pretty rare and they're fighting to save it from extinction. Right now the rarest bird in the world is the Spix Macaw, which is a type of parrot. In 1997 there was one bird left in the wild but it has since disappeared. They have about 60-70 birds in captivity and Brazil is trying to breed them. So far there's been problems because lots of people have bought the birds illegally and they don't want to loose possession of their birds.

Answer 3

Quezacotl is the name of the Final Fantasy 8 character. I believe it was named after an ancient Aztec god or something.

Here's a list of extinct birds. I don't see anything that sounds like that name:

This is the only bird that comes CLOSE to sounding like the FF8 character:
