So take a moment to visualize yourself surrounded by these scenes of rainforest paradise -- you'll return to "real life" refreshed and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
I experienced heart-thumping seconds when I saw such scenes as the blue bird of paradise flip over to his upside-down position and perform his astonishing hanging display, spreading his breast plumes into a fan, bouncing and buzzing, and waving his tail wires.

Once in the studio, Liz shot the blotter paper against different scenes: a depressing office, a vision of paradise, clear blue skies, and a trippy fog.
Ms. Youssef's actors often seem overly subdued, especially Mr. Nashef (a star of "Paradise Now"), and scenes look as cramped and plain as those of a low-budget television drama.
He and his wife Pat Kavanagh, the literary agent, described by one friend as "a plumed bird of paradise in a grey scene" were together for 30 years.
The fifth clade (E), consists of Paradisaea birds-of-paradise, Wilson's bird-of-paradise (Diphyllodes respublica), magnificent bird-of-paradise (Diphyllodes magnificus), and king bird-of-paradise (Cicinnurus regius).
Thus, Macgregor's bird-of-paradise (Macgregoria pulchra) is a giant honeyeater [ 13], while the cnemophiline birds-of-paradise form a distinct lineage well separated from the true birds-of-paradise clade [ 13- 15].
The third clade (C) consists of the twelve-wired bird-of-paradise (Seleucidis melanoleuca), Drepanornis sicklebills, the standardwing bird-of-paradise (Semioptera wallacii), riflebirds (Ptiloris), and the superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba).
Within this clade the genera Diphyllodes and Cicinnurus are sister lineages, while the blue bird-of-paradise (Paradisaea rudolphi) is sister to other Paradisaea birds-of-paradise.
