One of the iconic birds of the Andes. Fairly large, significantly larger, and chunkier than a thrush. Found in the cloud forest at middle elevations, most often at a dawn display site where males make piglike squeals and jump and dance for females. Sometimes seen elsewhere in the forest, especially at fruiting trees. Males can be brilliant crimson or orange, always with black wings, broad silver tertials, orange legs, and puffy rounded crest. Female duller brown with smaller crest; note staring pale eye. Nests on large rocks or cliff faces. The only similar species is Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, but no range overlap.
Distribution
The Andean cock-of-the-rock is distributed in the cloud forests of the Andes. It lives in a large range of about 260,000 km2 (100,000 sq mi) across Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Bolivia, mostly in ravines and forested streams in montane areas at 500 to 2,400 m (1,600 to 7,900 ft) elevation. It typically stays in the lower and middle forest levels, but will range higher in fruiting trees and will sometimes enter and cross clearings. It is generally shy and inconspicuous, often seen only briefly after being flushed out or while swiftly flying down a valley
Hábitat
Forest: Subtropical/Tropical Moist Lowland, Subtropical/Tropical Moist Montane; Wetlands (inland): Permanent Rivers/Streams/Creeks (includes waterfalls)
Feeding
The diet consists mainly of fruit and insects, although small reptiles and frogs have been recorded. The fruits consumed are often from the plant families Lauraceae, Annonaceae, and Rubiaceae, although a few other plant families have also been reported in their diet. They are one of many species recorded following army ants. They occasionally will eat high-protein fruits, but they prefer to eat the other fruits on their menu.
Breeding
Male cocks-of-the-rock are polygamous and have nothing to do with nesting once mating is done. The male’s energy instead is devoted to very elaborate display rituals that show off his magnificent plumage. These displays take place in communal leks, where males gather to challenge rivals and beckon the females. The males are easily disturbed, so their behavior is not easy to see. One study reported that the display activity is dependent on the light intensity, with the morning display period occurring during the same light intensity level as the afternoon period
Conservation status
The worldwide population size and trends in population numbers have not been determined, but it is believed that the Andean cock-of-the-rock is not threatened. The species is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species despite habitat destruction. It is patchily distributed, but its range is large enough to sustain its at least Concern status.
