Elaborate on your metaphors

She stood out in the crowd like a bird of paradise among a flock of crows, her bright, elaborate feathers instantly catching Dave’s eye like the ornamental flank plumes of theParadisa apoda. Unlike this particular bird, however, she was not native to Indonesia and did not have a diet consisting mainly of fruit, seeds and small insects; rather, she dined on the finest culinary creations at exclusive restaurants and lived in her luxurious central London townhouse which, as Dave was about to discover, was not constructed from fern fronds and moss.
As soon as he saw her, Dave could tell that they were about to engage in a highly ritualised mating dance, as is common among the sexually dimorphic birds of the genusParadisaeidae, although hopefully this would not involve him competing with other males in displays of plumage, gymnastic prowess and bill strength, in the manner of the Curl-crested Manucode (Manucodia comrii).

woke up this afternoon with a blinding and insatiable desire for pizza, but had none. proceeded to make pizza by throwing some bread, pasta sauce, swiss and cheddar cheese in the oven.

This is why I need my own show on the Food Network. Because I am a genius.
