These birds of paradise are commonly known as riflebirds, so named for the likeness of their black velvety plumage to the uniform of the Rifle Brigade. Alternatively, the bird\u2019s cry is similar to a rifle being fired and hitting its target but a call like this is not commonly reported. They are distributed in the rainforests of New Guinea and eastern Australia."@en . "260"^^ . "Ptiloris or riflebirds, is a genus of birds-of-paradise.
