burung phoenix

ref: Kamus Inggeris-Melayu Dewan.

according to egyptian mythology the phoenix is a fabulous bird that after a life of 500-600 years immolates itself, i.e. consumed itself by fire, and rises from the ashes to begin a new cycle of years. [btw if you've read harry porter, you'll know that dumbledore has one for a pet. :)]
