yes, a bird comming up out of fire sounds retarded, but think about those trees that need fire to reproduce. is it possible. there are bugs that can shoot fire from they mouth.

The phoenix bird symbolizes immortality, resurrection and life after death. In ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, it is associated with the sun god.
According to the Greeks, the bird lives in Arabia, near a cool well. Every morning at dawn, the sun god would stop his chariot to listen to the bird sing a beautiful song while it bathed in the well.
Only one phoenix exists at a time. When the bird felt its death was near, every 500 to 1,461 years, it would build a nest of aromatic wood and set it on fire. The bird then was consumed by the flames.
A new phoenix sprang forth from the pyre. It embalmed the ashes of its predecessor in an egg of myrrh and flew with it to Heliopolis, "city of the sun," where the egg was deposited on the altar of the sun god. In Egypt, it was usually depicted as a heron, but in the classic literature as a peacock or an eagle.

The Greek Phoenix is mythology, but surprisingly enough connections to the Palm Tree. See more here:

I believe that if you read Greek Mythology, you will find the reference to the Pheonix Bird.
As a kid, I loved Greek Mythology in School, so, thats where I had to hear it from.
I wish you well..

I think they are totally imaginary. No living species can take birth from ashes of it's burnt body. I mean it's not at all possible.

Nope. Just mythology. Self-immolating fowl that resurrect from their own ashes would be a little wierd.

No.
Think about it logically.
Crispy cooked birds don't get re-born.
