Growling Riflebird

Ptiloris intercedens

Least Concern

The Growling Riflebird is a forest bird famed for fruit feeding and, in many species, elaborate male courtship plumes and display behavior in eastern New Guinea. It is generally resident, using local forest, scrub, or woodland year-round and shifting within its range as food changes. Fun fact: this batch includes some of the most distinctive island lineages in the bird catalog, from toxic ifritas to display-rich birds-of-paradise.
