    1. Thank you so much! That is quite a coincidence with the cock-of-the-rock being in your story. You see when I was a kid my father bought a set of Funk and Wagnal Encyclopedias one volume at a time from.the supermarket and in one of them, there was a full color plate of the cock-of-the-rock, and I just fell in love with the bird in the photo and it became one of my one of my ambitions to see one live in person which sadly I never did…..
