If fashion had a bird ambassador, the cock-of-the-rock would steal the spotlight. The males? They look like they"re wearing a bright orange-red costume, complete with a huge crest that almost covers their beak. With its bold colours, this native South American bird isn"t just about looks—it"s got the moves too.
