http://www.eliki.com/ancient/myth/phoenix/
has some phoenix legends. It is certainly blazonable, I'm pretty sure it's
a period charge and several towns mundanely have it on their "devices" :-)
Other sites I found (in a really quick look)
http://www.iaw.on.ca/~phoenix/Legend.htm
http://hca.gilead.org.il/phoenix.html <--story by Hans Christian Anderson
http://hca.gilead.org.il/phoenix.html <- warning, music loads & plays
automatically
http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellations/Phoenix.html
the last is info about the constellation, which it says has also been
called "The Griffin, The Eagle, The Young Ostriches (Arabic), and The Fire
Bird (Chinese)."
