WTF is wrong with you Australia?

The paper comes in response to skepticism about the behavior. Gosford and his co-authors found evidence that this behavior was well known to indigenous cultures and to firefighters. They believe the raptors are spreading fires to scare prey out of hiding and make it easier to catch dinner.

Dammit Australia. You already had great white sharks, the box jellyfish, bulldog ants, like 5 of the most poisonous spiders on the planet, and now your fricking birds are starting forest fires?!
Now I know why Australia was a British penal colony.

I was eating a cookie one time. Saved the most chocolaty part for last. Piece of shite bird flew up and snatched it out of my hand and flew across the train tracks to eat it.
Smart bird.
Smart bird.

This puts PETA in a really tough spot. Are they going to protest the firefighers because they are interfering with the native hawks ability to find food?

i read an article once that cats over time have changed the octave of their cries so that it mimics that of a human child.
animals are coming for us one day. i'm telling you.

If the behavior holds up, it would be just the third-known cause of wildfires, after lightning strikes and human behavior.
I imagine volcanoes can start fires. Also I've read of rock slides where the rocks hitting each other caused sparks which ignited fires.
