The elegant crested bird called cock-of-the-rock, admirably described by— Wanderings in South America
Here the cock-of-the-rock is plentiful.— Wanderings in South America
A day or two after, my hunter brought me a specimen of the green gaper (Calyptomena viridis), which is like a small cock-of-the-rock, but entirely of the most vivid green, delicately marked on the wings with black bars.— The Malay Archipelago, the land of the orang-utan and the bird of paradise; a narrative of travel, with studies of man and nature — Volume 1
However, I find now that no exact period can be fixed; for in December 1824 an Indian in the River Demerara gave me a young cock-of-the-rock not a month old, and it had just been brought from the Macoushi country.— Wanderings in South America
Now, as I have said in a former chapter, these are wise little birds, more interesting -- I had almost said more beautiful -- in their wisdom, or wisdom-simulating instincts, than the quatzel in its resplendent green, or the cock-of-the-rock in its vivid scarlet and orange mantle.— The Naturalist in La Plata
