This episode was one of the bests of Season 3. It showed off all of the Wudai Power. Too bad that Wudai Iron Palm was a one time thing, I liked it. The lady sing outside of the temple got to be a little... much. Dojo was funny in this episode as well. I though ti was a little weird for Chase to be watching through the clouds using an... eyeball? Yeah, a little weird with that one.

Too bad no Shen-Gong-Wu are seen, user or revealed in this episode.

Jack was also very funny in this episode. He is still missing his other half that he left in the Ying-Yang World in the previous episode. Wuya has become less of a threat and more of a comedy character. Jack's parrot is funny in the end, that is so like Jack!moreless

If I was slightly less of a perfectionist, this episode was perfect

I have a top ten favorite Xiaolin Showdown episode list, and this would probably be the third or fourth. The Bird of Paradise was the most graphically inspiring episode ever. I felt like I would just jump up and go crazy.

I could consider this episode a mix of comedy, adventure, suspense, and action. The Bird in her old lady state was hilarious, and how she moved around looked really cracked me up.

Nowhere? Somewhere? Neither Here nor There??? Hahaha...

Omi's astoundment with a leaf...wow...he looks so cute with that smile ha.

When Wuya's not the boss of everything, she's a total dork. Bathroom problems, kissing up, and using slang? Whoa...problematic.

Wudai Neptune, Mars, Star, and Crater are unbelieveably awesome, but the best was Wudai Orion, and how they cloaked themselves with some dark and elemental energy.

I devoted this particular paragraph to say: "Wow, Jack is STUPID." Parrot = Bird of Paradise? I don't think so.

It was amazing in the end how the magical illusions of Master Fung ended in paper cranes turning into mops and brooms. Amazing episode.moreless
