Firehawks: Nature's Arsonists
(Edited)
Australia is no stranger to fire: the blazes are adapted to the hardy landscape, thanks to people and lightning. But a third source has long been known by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia: birds.
The indigenous peoples of Australia's Northern Territory maintain in interviews, observations, and rituals that a collective group of birds they call "firehawks" can control fire by bringing burning sticks to new spots in their particular beaks or perhaps heels.
Typically the idea is to apply fires to be able to help these kinds of prey wild birds find foods — generating easy dishes from pests and additional small pets trying to be able to flee typically the blaze.

Very revealing that some aves could be so studious in search of prey to the discomfort of the entire environment , other habitat species and humans!
How are such controlled or deterred when found??
