The Bird of Paradise Constellations are two star patterns in the night sky, APUS and URSA. APUS is a small constellation located in the southern sky, and its name comes from the Latin phrase for 'no feet, ' referring to the fact that it is often depicted as a bird without feet. URSA is a larger constellation located in the northern sky, and its name comes from the Latin word for 'BEAR.' Both constellations are visible in the night sky, and they are often used to help people orient themselves when looking up at the stars.
