Description and possible origin

The sarimanok is often rendered as a fanciful cock with a technicolor coat of feathers and is a symbol of good fortune. The Sarimanok originates from an Islamic legend. According to the legend, Muhammad found a rooster in the first of the seven heavens. The bird was so large its crest touched the second heaven. Its crow roused every living creature -- except man. Judgement day would come once this celestial rooster ceased to crow.[1]
