The Phoenix is a bird with colors corresponding to fire. Red, yellow, orange, and gold are the colors usually seen.
The Phoenix is known for its abilities to resurrect. A Phoenix will die in its own fire and burn into ashes. From those ashes, a Phoenix chick is born.
It is because of this cycle of life and death that the Phoenix is also associated with regeneration and immortality.

The earliest representation of the Phoenix is found in the Ancient Egyptian Bennu Bird.
In one myth, the Phoenix would build itself a nest of cinnamon twigs and ignite it. The nest and the Phoenix would be burned to ash until a new Phoenix rose from the ashes. The new Phoenix would then put the ashes into an egg made of myrrh and drop it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis.
There is not much evidence that points to the Phoenix being real.
It is believed, however, that a large heron, which is now extinct, served as the inspiration for the Phoenix in Egypt.
The Phoenix also primarily served as a symbolic icon of life and death.
