Liberty has a bird in Guatemala: the resplendent quetzal, placed on the coat of arms as the country's symbol of freedom since independence from Spain in 1821. Sky-blue bands flank a white stripe on the flag itself, marking the oceans and open sky that bracket the country. Crossed rifles and swords sit below the bird for the will to protect that freedom.
What 🇬🇹 means
