Guianan Cock-Of-The-Rock

The Guianan cock-of-the-rock is a perching bird belonging to the cotinga species from South America. This bird has a bizarre appearance with its feathery crest covering its beak, which makes it look like the bird is mouthless.  Males have bright orange feathers while the females have dark smokey grey colored feathers.

The males use a lek system like the sage-grouse to mate. They engage in a competitive display showing off their plumage to attract females who visit their courts. The birds primarily eat fruits, but they also occasionally feed on lizards and small snakes.
