EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant snapshot captured by Alex Hyde, we witness a truly spectacular sight high up in the cloud forest canopy of Manu Biosphere Reserve. Meet our flamboyant protagonist, the Andean Cock-of-the-rock male (Rupicola peruvianus), as he struts his stuff during a lively lekking display. With his brilliant orange plumage and extravagant crest, this dashing bird knows how to make an entrance! The lush green backdrop of the Amazonian rainforest sets the stage for this avian performance like no other. It's mating season, and our feathered friend is determined to win over potential mates with his charm and dance moves. As he hops from branch to branch, emitting melodious songs that echo through the trees, it's clear that courtship is serious business for this songbird. With every twist and turn, he showcases not only his physical prowess but also his dedication to finding a partner.
