The lesser phoenix (Phoenicilus lumina) is often considered to be a subspecies of the common phoenix (Phoenicilus phoenicilus), however unlike its bigger relative the wingspan of the former ranges only up to 30–50 cm or 12 to 20 inches. High variability in sizes is caused by the unique to phoenix family feature of gradual growth throughout their whole life. The life expectancy can reach up to 18-20 years between reincarnation cycles given the proper care.
Both males and females share whitish peach to burning-orange colored plumage that is both non-ignitable and bioluminescent. Preened out feathers are known to keep their glow for a day and a half before starting to fade out. In traditional medicine phoenix feathers are believed to have vivifying properties, much like the phoenix ash.
In the natural habitat lesser phoenixes flock in groups of medium size which helps the warmth-loving bird to cope with harsh winter nights. Captive specimens keep high sensitivity to temperature conditions. The birds are known to have a quick-tempered personality, but in spite of it lesser phoenixes are extremely devoted creatures, capable of keeping bond with an owner between several reincarnation cycles.
When constructing a phoenix aviary, it is wise to avoid using polymers and other inflammable materials, especially as a material for a perch due to likely deformation or even ignition if extensively used by the bird.
Non-flammable types of wood may be used.
