Both Asian and Western myths have phoenixes. The Western phoenix's primary association is with death and fiery rebirth (a concept introduced to the Chinese version much later through cultural exchange); the Chinese phoenix's appearance heralded peace and prosperity. It is described as a blend of various birds - the tail feathers of a peacock, the body of a duck, the legs of a crane, the wings of a swallow, and the beak of a parrot.
