Amazing, if this research pans out and is verified - from
the abstract:
We document Indigenous Ecological Knowledge and non-Indigenous
observations of intentional fire-spreading by the fire-foraging raptors
Black Kite (Milvus migrans), Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus), and Brown Falcon (Falco berigora)
in tropical Australian savannas. Observers report both solo and
cooperative attempts, often successful, to spread wildfires
intentionally via single-occasion or repeated transport of burning
sticks in talons or beaks.
