In eastern Australia black kites, whistling kites, and brown falcons are known as firehawks, because they are attracted to brush fires where they catch escaping prey. NBD. Oh, except they also carry burning sticks to intentionally start new fires. Birds are fucking badass.pic.twitter.com/MwohRGrSuC
