Rising from the Ashes

...of burnt toast?

This months challenge on the french forum is to fold a bird. Or should I say, the bird that doesn't exist (l'oiseau qui n'existe pas). I have been fooling around with different ways of folding birds out of rectangles, and came up with something from a ticket. Eventually, it evolved into the phoenix, and then the phoenix rising from ashes. Here is the CP I came up with, with a little bit of dividing into 8 for boxpleating. It's from a 4:1 rectangle.

Yeah, it's pretty long. However, it has a nice result if you fold it properly:
