A fact from Scarlet ibis appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 December 2011 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

carotenoid pigments in shrimp and shellfish?
I've reverted last edits to
Rufous-vented Chachalaca and
Scarlet Ibis because my understanding is that the former is the national bird of
Tobago - it doesn't occur in Trinidad, and the latter is the national bird of
Trinidad; both therefore are featured on the coat of arms of
Trinidad and Tobago
There is no inconsistency in parts of a nation state having their own national birds;
England,
Scotland and
Wales have their own national flowers, despit not being independent countries.
