Andean Cock-Of-The-Rock

The Andean Cock-Of-The-Rock, also known as tunki (Quechua), is a large passerine bird of the cotinga family native to Andean cloud forests in South America. It is widely regarded as the national bird of Peru. It has four subspecies and its closest relative is the Guianan cock-of-the-rock. They also feature a head, neck, and chest that are a vivid orange color, a black body, and gray wings. Female birds, in contrast to male birds, have a tiny crest and an upper body that is colored brownish-orange. It is also thought of as Peru's national bird.

The Andean cock-of-the-rock eats a diet of fruit, supplemented by insects, amphibians, reptiles, and smaller mice. Even though it is being affected by the destruction of its habitat, the Andean cock-of-the-rock is not classified as threatened. Only the Andean cock-of-the-rocks may reach a maximum length of 32 centimeters and a maximum weight of 230 grams. They employ saliva, mud, and vegetable debris to build their concave cup-shaped nest.
