Every time I try to get my kite really high it gets to a point and flips and does a nosedive.It is a paridise bird. Basicly is a fansy delta kite.
It already has a tail.

You’d probably need to either use lighter & stronger lines or change the pitch angle of the kite. Keep in mind that it’s in a constant “stall” as you let the line out, and as more and more length is added, the weight of the string “bows” which puts the line near the kite at a more vertical angle. At some point, that attack angle limit is going to be reached, which may very well put the kite into a dive as it “searches” for a better combination of wind direction to fit its pitch. To illustrate, picture a “T” laying on its side, and raise it to the upright position. The top bar of the T being the kite, you’ll see what’s happening. The kite can’t fly with winds that are making it nearly horizontal.
Try shortening the lower leg(s) of the bridle or lengthen the top legs. And of course lighter, stronger line will also help with the bowing.
What the first guy said is correct, it’ll reach that apex, then stall and crash. This is a very simple fix. Attach a tail to the kite. The tail will add drag to the back of the kite, keeping the nose up, thus keeping the kite from stalling.
