The video discusses Firehawks, a group of birds in Australia known for spreading fires. These birds, including the black kite, whistling kite, and brown falcon, have been observed carrying burning sticks to spread fires, which helps them hunt prey. While some scientists believe this behavior is accidental, it provides the birds with hunting advantages. Firehawks can spread fires over a kilometer, posing challenges for firefighters in Australia's tropical savannah.
