According to Enoch, the phoenix has the head of a crocodile and the feet of a lion. On the right wing of the phoenix you will find the following tattoo inscribed in huge letters: “Neither the Earth produces me, nor the Heavens, but only the wings of fire.” If you are close enough to read those letters, get thee to a hospital immediately.

Kosher? I doubt it. Especially since it was the only bird that Eve could not tempt to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Plus we think it would be pretty impossible to ritually slaughter one of these.
