If you’re lucky enough to visit Peru’s Andean cloud forests, you may cross paths with a brightly colored bird with orange feathers and a crest. This is the gallito de las rocas, aka the Andean cock-of-the-rock, or “tunki” in Quechua. This special bird is widely considered the national bird of Peru.
