firebird

Luminous mythical bird

A firebird is a mythical bird associated with fire, appearing in various folklores—most famously the Russian tale where a glowing golden bird sets heroes on impossible quests.

The phoenix is sometimes called a firebird.

In nature, firebird names several species with flame-colored plumage, including orioles and tanagers.

The firebird's single feather lit up the dark forest. (Capitalized Firebird is the Pontiac model or the ballet.)
