Emperor bird-of-paradise
The emperor bird- of- paradise(" Paradisaea guilielmi"), also known as emperor of Germany's bird- of- paradise, is a species of bird- of- paradise.
The emperor bird- of- paradise is endemic to Papua New Guinea.
It is distributed in hill forests of the Huon Peninsula.
The diet consists mainly of fruits, figs and arthropods.
The name commemorates the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, Wilhelm II of Germany.
In January 1888, the emperor bird- of- paradise was the last bird- of- paradise discovered by Carl Hunstein, who also found the blue bird- of- paradise on his journeys.
These two species, along with the red bird- of- paradise, are the only" Paradisaea" that perform inverted display.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, limited range and overhunting in some areas, the emperor bird- of- paradise is evaluated as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.

The male has a dark emerald green throat, yellow crown, pale brown below and narrow yellow throat collar.

Visions of Paradise
"Visions of Paradise" is a 1968 song by the progressive rock band the Moody Blues.
First released on their album "In Search of the Lost Chord", it was written jointly by band members Justin Hayward and Ray Thomas, and was the first of many collaborations between them.
The song is primarily led by Justin Hayward's voice and Ray Thomas's flute, with the lyrics describing the writer's perception of paradise.
The song has been described as ".. little else than Thomas’s flute riff and Hayward
’s softly picked acoustic.
Apparently resuming the drug-trip theme, this song may be even further "out there" than "The Best Way to Travel" with a surreal perception of paradise."
Regarding the song, Hayward has explained:
You have to start with the Mellotron that Mike Pinder was playing.
The way he got that sound was by bouncing between machines.
We were only on 4-track machines, going up to 8-track for Lost Chord, so he would bounce the whole thing across many times to get that layered sound.
That would be very time consuming for him and Derek Varnals, the engineer.
They would work on it together.
Meanwhile, other guys were writing in the studio going
[imitates a high-pitched, wavering Mellotron] through a progression of chords.
So Ray and I found this broom cupboard that was attached to the studio.
I’d go there with my acoustic guitar and flute, and we would write those things.
It had a sound-proofed door so that the cleaners didn’t disturb us.
It also had an entrance from the corridor that was also sound-proofed.
It was a sealed little place.
Everything that we wrote together – including Visions of Paradise – all of those things were written there.
In 2008 the band issued a "instrumental sitar mix" of the track as a bonus on their 2008 CD remastered reissue.
Maria's bird-of-paradise
Maria's bird- of- paradise, also known as Frau Reichenow's bird- of- paradise or Mrs. Reichenow's bird- of- paradise, is a bird in the family Paradisaeidae that is a presumptive hybrid species between an emperor bird- of- paradise and raggiana bird- of- paradise.
It was named for the wife of the describer, German ornithologist Anton Reichenow.

The Moody Blues
The Moody Blues are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1964, initially consisting of keyboardist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist Ray Thomas, guitarist Denny Laine, drummer Graeme Edge, and bassist Clint Warwick.
The group came to prominence playing rhythm and blues music.
They made some changes in musicians but settled on a line-up of Pinder, Thomas, Edge, guitarist Justin Hayward, and bassist John Lodge, who stayed together for most of the band's "classic era" into the early 1970s.
Their second album, "Days of Future Passed", which was released in 1967, was a fusion of rock with classical music which established the band as pioneers in the development of art rock and progressive rock.
It has been described as a "landmark" and "one of the first successful concept albums".
The group toured extensively through the early 1970s, then took an extended hiatus from 1974 until 1977.
Founder Mike Pinder left the group a year after they re-formed and was replaced by Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz in 1978.
In the following decade they took on a more synth-pop sound and produced "The Other Side of Life" in 1986, which made them the first act to earn each of its first three top 10 singles in the United States in a different decade.
Health troubles led to a diminished role for founder Ray Thomas throughout the 1980s, though his musical contributions rebounded after Moraz departed in 1991.
Thomas retired from the band in 2002.
The band's most recent album was "December" (2003), a collection of Christmas music.
They continued to tour throughout the first decade of the 2000s, and they still regroup for periodic events, one-off concerts, short tours, and cruises.
The Moody Blues' most successful singles include "Go NowNights in White SatinTuesday AfternoonQuestion", and "Your Wildest Dreams".
The band has sold 70 million albums worldwide, which includes 18 platinum and gold LPs.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
