The Andean Cock of the Rock is one of the coolest birds that I have seen. Their natural habitat is in the forests of South America and this little guy happens to be the national bird of Peru. This shot was taken at the Zoo in Cali Colombia in the bird canopy. The Cali Zoo is an excellent zoo to visit. All of the cages and habitats are very well maintained and many of the animals seemed very well cared for. It was hard to get the picture since this Andean Cock of the Rock was hiding way in the back. As usual in zoos there was a large group of kids that couldn’t help themselves by seeing all of the animals and many of the birds were hiding in the back. Once they left it came out and started playing on the small tree inside the aviary.
