如果鸟类在时尚界工作,作为模特飞过T台,那只公鸡会抢走每个人的风头!雄性看起来像是穿着明亮的橙红色服装,还有一把几乎盖住喙的巨大梳子。这种生活在安第斯山脉云雾林中的南美鸟不仅引人注目,而且还能表演令人印象深刻的舞蹈动作。它们壮观的求偶舞蹈使它们成为鸟类王国的真正明星。另一方面,雌性则相当不显眼,棕色的羽毛有助于它们躲藏起来。在交配季节,雄性会聚集在喧闹的竞技场,在那里它们会跳跃、尖叫和摇头,以给雌性留下深刻印象。然后,雌性会选择最好的舞者,交配,并在岩石表面上筑一个泥巢。它们产下两枚白色蛋,孵化25至28天。

If birds were working in the fashion industry and flying over the catwalk as models, the rock cock would steal everyone's show! The males look like they are wearing a bright orange-red costume, complete with a huge comb that almost covers their beak. The South American bird, which lives in the cloud forests of the Andes, is not only an eye-catcher, but can also perform impressive dance movements. Their spectacular courtship dances make them real stars in the bird kingdom. The females, on the other hand, are rather inconspicuous, with brownish feathers that help them hide. During the mating season, males gather in loud arenas where they jump, scream and shake their heads to impress the females. The females then choose the best dancer, mate and build a nest of mud on a rocky surface. They lay two white eggs and hatch them for 25 to 28 days.
