Some light, cheery news.
When the avian uprising
inevitably occurs, humans will be wise to defect immediately to the Bird Army.
A new study suggests that certain
species of birds in Australia have figured out a way to spread fires in order
to terrify — and eventually eat — their prey. This
terrifying strategy has been observed by aboriginal people for hundreds of
years, but only recently did researchers condense these accounts — and modern
interviews — into a single paper. The team’s findings were published in
the most recent edition of the Journal of Ethnobiology back in
November.
“This may give us cause to
re-examine fire history, and the conduct of fire in this country,” co-author
Robert Gosford told British
newspaper The Register. “Our belief … is that it’s intentional.”
