1 a bird of paradise
If you tell me to be perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect, I can only say that I wish I could. That would be more polite than telling you to go to the Zoo and advise the monkeys to become men and the cockatoos to become birds of paradise. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘This Danger of War’) — Вы советуете мне стать воплощением совершенства, подобно отцу небесному, - я вам на это отвечу одно: при всем желании не могу. Будь я менее вежлив, я бы ответил вам: идите в зоопарк и пожелайте обезьяне стать человеком или попугаю какаду - райской птицей.
...she was a blaze of scarlet and emerald green, like a great bird of paradise in the room. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Faraway’, ch. I) —...сочетание алого цвета с изумрудным делало ее похожей на большую райскую птицу.
