birds spread wild fire

The raptors have been observed picking up burning twigs from these blazes and then flying up to 50 meters (165 feet) away to unburnt patches of grassland and forest, where they deliberately drop them, spreading the fire.

Following this, the birds will then sit at the advancing edge of the fire, and wait for small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insects to flee the flames, picking off the hapless critters as they make a run for it.
Smokey will be pissed

Pecker has been slacking on his animal threads.
This has all the makings of a good one.

Sounds like we need these birds in California next summer to help completely burn that shitshow down

Sounds like some coonass birds.

Before I read the explanation in the OP, my first thought was that this makes sense because a) birds are flammable and b) birds can fly.

That is a total dick move.
Raptors would be at home on the OT.

Something similar has been attributed to St. Olga of Kiev, who took revenge on the people who butchered her husband:

Something similar has been attributed to St. Olga of Kiev, who took revenge on the people who butchered her husband:
quote:
“Now Olga gave to each soldier in her army a pigeon or a sparrow, and ordered them to attach by thread to each pigeon and sparrow a piece of sulfur bound with small pieces of cloth. When night fell, Olga bade her soldiers release the pigeons and the sparrows. So the birds flew to their nests, the pigeons to the cotes, and the sparrows under the eaves. The dove-cotes, the coops, the porches, and the haymows were set on fire.
“There was not a house that was not consumed, and it was impossible to extinguish the flames, because all the houses caught on fire at once. The people fled from the city, and Olga ordered her soldiers to catch them. Thus she took the city and burned it, and captured the elders of the city. Some of the other captives she killed, while some she gave to others as slaves to her followers. The remnant she left to pay tribute.”

Actually most of the wildfires were caused by potheads throwing joints out the window

That's incredibly badass.
But forest fires are pretty shitty situations so frick those birds.
