ANDEAN COCK-OF-THE-ROCK (Rupicola peruvianus) ©San Diego Shooter/Nathan Rupert The Cock-of-the-rock, which compose the genus Rupicola, are South American cotingid birds. The Andean Cock-of-the-rock is the national bird of Peru. They are found in tropical and subtropical rainforests close to rocky areas, where they build their nests. Like some other cotingids, they have a complex court behaviour, performing impressive lek displays. The males are magnificent birds, not only because of their bright orange or red colors, but also because of their very prominent fan-shaped crests. The far duller females are overall brownish. They are wary animals and primarily feed on fruits and berries. Fact Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock-of-the-rock Note: Somewhere in there, there’s a beak
