Peru's flower is the cantuta. Sorry, couldn't find the bird.
National flower: The Cantuta (often spelled kantuta or qantuta, from Quechua qantu) (Cantua buxifolia or Fuchsia buxifolia) flower of the Incas.

National Bird: Andean ****-of-the-Rock also known as the Rupicola peruviana (see wikipedia)
It won't let me type the common name lol so I pasted a website where you can see it as well as many pics of this strange bird.
