Description β€œFIREBIRD WITH A COLOURFUL PLUMAGE AND A TAIL OF GOLD AND SCARLET (OR PURPLE, BLUE, AND GREEN ). IT HAS A 500 TO 1,000 YEAR LIFE-CYCLE, NEAR THE END OF WHICH IT BUILDS ITSELF A NEST OF MYRRH TWIGS THAT THEN IGNITES; BOTH NEST AND BIRD BURN FIERCELY AND ARE REDUCED TO ASHES, FROM WHICH A NEW, YOUNG PHOENIX OR PHOENIX EGG ARISES, REBORN ANEW TO LIVE AGAIN. THE NEW PHOENIX IS DESTINED TO LIVE AS LONG AS ITS OLD SELF. IN SOME STORIES, THE NEW PHOENIX EMBALMS THE ASHES OF ITS OLD SELF IN AN EGG MADE OF MYRRH AND DEPOSITS IT IN ITS NEST.

yes it looks just like a male peafowl, except that it has a scissor tail too along with the peacock feathers

I like the facial anatomy a lot.

I might do a redesign of this one too, it doesn't look like much of a flyer, as they're know to travel from India to Egypte.
