The Cock-of-the-Rock is a brightly colored bird found in the tropical rainforests of South America, particularly in countries like Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador. Males are known for their striking orange plumage and large, rounded crest, which they use to attract females during mating displays. They typically inhabit the understory of forests and are often seen near streams and rivers. These birds are known for their unique courtship rituals, where males gather in leks to perform elaborate displays. The Cock-of-the-Rock primarily feeds on fruits, insects, and small invertebrates, playing a role in seed dispersal within its habitat.
