dear cecil,
If south is ones death or disaster direction
will it cause any harm if one enhances the south by placing a rooster or phoenix in south. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
This is based on very general theory. I would rather classify this as textbook cures where Book authors will ask explain the location eg. South = Fire and let you do whatever necessary to enhance the location based on a fixed element.
I believe all your four questions, what has been done is to simply super-impose the Four Symbolic animals `exactly' into the home environment.
This is really not the correct way to apply Feng Shui based on the Five elements.
For example, the South is already considered warm. Introducing a warm object e.g. a Phoenix would add more `Fire' into the location.
If there is already `petty' quarrels within the sector, introducing or adding more Fire is not going to help.
Under the Five Element concept, a good element to add would instead be of the Earth element e.g. pottery. As cools down Fire.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
