Guianan Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola rupicola)

Characteristics
Measures 28 centimeters long. The male is orange and unmistakable; the female is dark brown, appearing black from a distance. The male's forelock, which gives him the name rooster, can be moved by the bird, like a fan, covering the beak, which confuses those observing which side the bird is looking at. The male's topknot is larger than the female's. The plumage of the young is dark, like that of the female, and begins to change in the second year of life, and only in the third year does it turn completely orange. The change begins irregularly, in each individual, with orange spots distributed across the body, which increase until the change is complete. The orange filaments of the wing feathers, which give a beautiful visual effect to the bird, only appear at the end of the molt. It is a bird that does not survive in captivity. Over time, it loses its bright orange color, turning yellow, and within a few years it dies.
