I have in my possession a book that describes a bit of history on phoenixes I shall share the information with you that I have found.
In Enoch lore, the Phoenixes and the Chalkydri are angels of a high order classed as seraphim and cherubim. They are described as "elements of the sun" and as attendening the chariot of the "planet" (in early occult and apocyphal writings the sun was classed as a planet, on of 7). The Phoenixes, like the Chalkydri dwelt in the 4th or 6th Heaven, and were 12 winged. Enoch II, 19 speaks of 7 phoenixes sighted in the 6th Heaven, where their song, with which they greeted the rising sun, was celebrated for its sweetness. Their color, according to Phliny, was purple. "to such creatures in literature," writes Charles in his note to chapter 12 of Enoch II,"this seems to be the only reference,"-i.e., the only reference to these creatures jointly as angles. Dr. K. Kohler in "The pre-Talmudic Haggada" (Jewish quarterly review,1893, pp. 399-419), quoting from an old mishna, Massecheth Derrech Eretz, calls to mind the legend that the phonixes referred to in Enoch were of a class of birds that went alive into Paradise.[ Cf. sun birds in Barunch III]

I knelt down beside the river bank, thinking of how long my life has truely been. Eons upon eons of senseless meaningless parades, of mankind leaving a destructive wake in the energywaves that surround the cosmos. I shrug my shoulders thinking this will all end for them, but for me it will always go on.
Countless stars I use to gaze upon now hidden in filth made by human machiens. How many lives lost in stupid wars over land that was never theirs to own in the first place. How many more lives will be lost for the sake of stuff made from dead things. Don't know what I mean oil my poor simple human.
A dozen lives I've lead and still you people are the same. Will you ever learn from your past mistakes?
