Feathered in this case, predators gather in small flocks, look out for smoldering sticks and then move the “fiery prey” through the air to the best, in their opinion, places for another fire, more often just within a kilometer.
Thanks to a new fire set up in this way, kites and the falcons receive free food as the fire drives out shelters of hundreds of birds, reptiles and rodents.

The most amazing thing is that Aborigines know about such in the habits of birds of prey, in their opinion, they always did this, as it is said from time immemorial.
Despite this statement by local residents, huntsmen and rangers fighting incendiary birds constantly run into the skepticism of official science and may suffer from these fires themselves.
The behavior of “fiery” birds, researchers say phenomenon, very similar to the tactics of corral game wolf pack. therefore there is nothing surprising in the reality of such uncontrolled arson, which, apparently, predatory birds are already engaged in thousands years…
