The Victoria’s riflebird (Ptiloris victoriae), also known as duwuduwu to the local Aboriginal people, is a bird-of-paradise endemic to the Atherton Tableland region of northeastern Queensland, Australia where it resides year-round. As well as insects, they eat fruits from the trees, some which they peel by holding the fruit with one foot and removing the skin with their bill. The Victoria's riflebird was discovered by John Macgillivray for John Gould in 1848 and is named after QueenVictoria of the United Kingdom.
