To unlock the ability to collect beasts you must first unlock the Room of Requirement after the 'Jackdaw's Rest' main quest. You must also unlock the quest 'The Elf, The Nab-Sack, And The Loom' which is a quest given by the house elf Deek after you have attended your first Beasts Class and have completed the 'The Helm Of Urtkot' main quest.
This quest will unlock the ability to capture creatures for your Room of Requirement Vivarium and is one of many quests Deek will give you.
The very last quest given by Deek will guide you to getting a phoenix after you have unlocked all three Vivariums. This is the only phoenix in the game and will require you to travel to Phoenix Mountain as part of Deek's quest 'Phoenix Rising'.
