Birds of Paradise by Raccoon Fireworks

42-shot, 500-gram aerial cake with cascading willows, red strobes, and vivid blue stars

Fill the night sky with brilliant color and long-hanging golden effects with Birds of Paradise by Raccoon Fireworks. This 42-shot, 500-gram aerial cake delivers a fast, hard-hitting performance built around sweeping willow branches, flashing red strobes, and deep blue stars.

Birds of Paradise balances speed with hang time. New shots rise while the previous willows are still descending, allowing layers of gold, red, and blue to overlap. The result is a dense aerial canopy that continually refreshes throughout the approximately 25-second performance.

Its compact rectangular construction delivers 42 shots from a unit measuring approximately 15″ × 11⅞″ × 9″. Raccoon lists the cake under item number RA52504, with a 2/1 case pack and UPC 757201525046.

Effects and Performance

Bright Rising Shots

Birds of Paradise begins with strong aerial lifts that quickly establish its energetic pace. The ascending shots draw the audience’s attention upward before opening into layered willow breaks.

Large Hanging Willows

Golden willow branches spread broadly across the sky and descend slowly. Their extended hang time allows consecutive breaks to overlap, producing an increasingly dense canopy.

Red Strobe Accents

Flashing red strobes illuminate the willow effects with bold pulses of color. The rapid flashes add movement and contrast against the softer, drifting gold trails.

Deep Blue Stars

Blue stars appear throughout the breaks, adding cool color beneath and between the warm golden willow branches. Their saturated tone remains clearly visible against the red strobes and gold trails.

Dense Closing Sequence

The final phase maintains the cake’s fast firing rate as additional willow breaks, red strobes, and blue stars overlap. The remaining effects hang in the sky together, creating a bright and colorful finish.

Fast Pace with Long Hang Time

The defining strength of Birds of Paradise is the contrast between its quick firing sequence and its slow-descending willow effects. Although the cake completes 42 shots in approximately 25 seconds, the lingering golden branches keep the sky continuously filled.

Red strobes and blue stars prevent the willow sequence from appearing repetitive. Each flash and burst of color adds another visual layer while the gold trails drift downward.

Recommended Display Placement

Birds of Paradise works well as a late-show feature or as the first cake in a finale sequence. Its rapid pace and overlapping willow effects quickly increase the intensity of a display without immediately exhausting the entire finale.

For additional width, pair it with a fan-shaped cake featuring colorful comets or mines. For a heavier closing presentation, fire it alongside a slower cake with large brocade crowns, chrysanthemums, or strobes.

Safety and Setup

Place Birds of Paradise upright on a flat, firm, nonflammable surface and stabilize it according to the instructions on the label. Keep spectators at the required distance and maintain a clear overhead firing area away from buildings, trees, vehicles, and utility lines.

Light only the designated fuse, retreat immediately, and never place any part of your body over the cake. Do not attempt to relight or approach a malfunctioning firework until the required waiting period has passed.
