Sure, there is an actual animal called “The Bird of Paradise,” but most people know of the flower called the same thing.
Me, I mostly remember the phrase “Bird of Paradise” from the Little Jimmy Dickens song, “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose,” played many times on a record called “40 Funky Favorites.”
