What is a mythical bird? |
[Edit] |
There are many more than that though. The phoenix alone has variants all over the world, including the benu/bennu (Egypt), the fenghuang (China), the firebird/zhar-ptitsa (Russia) to name but three.
Then there are the Thunderbirds of Native American mythology which themselves have different names depending on the tribe. They also have the piasa, and in South America, the chonchon.
Persia has the roc and the chamrosh, Greek mythology has the Stymphalian birds, Jewish myth has the ziz and the broxa, Japanese myth has the basan, the Philippines have the sarimanok.
So as you can see mythical birds are prevalent everywhere.
There is also the Indian Solar bird Garuda.
