Double the drama. Andean cocks-of-the-rock, Ecuador
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.
