Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky that represents a bird-of-paradise, named "without feet" in Greek because these birds were once mistakenly thought to have no feet. It was first depicted on a celestial globe in 1598 and later charted in detail by astronomers in the early 1600s and 1700s, helping establish its place in our modern understanding of the night sky.

L'Uccello del Paradiso (in latino Apus, abbreviato in Aps) è una debole costellazione vicina al polo sud celeste. Viene ufficialmente menzionata per la prima volta nell'Uranometria di Johann Bayer, ma si ipotizza che fosse in uso già in precedenza presso i marinai.
