When Birds Play With Fire… Science Gets Weird

Humans aren't the only creatures to use fire.

In the wild heart of Australia, Indigenous legends—and now scientists—tell of birds that do the impossible: spread fire to hunt.

Meet the Firehawks — a name for the black kite, whistling kite, and brown falcon. These birds have been observed picking up burning sticks and dropping them into unburned grass, deliberately starting new wildfires to flush out prey like lizards and rodents.

This isn’t just survival. It’s strategy. It’s tool use. It’s a glimpse into a world where nature uses fire not just to destroy, but to feed.
