Andean Cock of the rock (Rupicola peruviana)

As Peru’s National Bird, this spectacular looking bird is often associated with
Machu Picchu. It is actually shy and wary and prefers to stay in the trees feeding on fruits. The male Cock of the rock is famous for its courtship displays early in the morning where two males will face each other, bowing, jumping and snapping their beaks in order to get the attention of a female. (Size 31cm)
