They are nicknamed "Fire Hawks" because if they find a fire that starts from a lightning strike they'll look for a stick on fire and fly off with it and drop it in another location. All so that they can make prey run away and then they watch mice and other prey and start catching them to eat. Imagine an animal that is an arsonist. There are 3 varieties of "Fire Hawks" and they live in Australia. Of course it had to be Australia, where most of the freak animals live.

@Mamapolo2016 That's true, but the birds weren't the cause. Unfortunately, we ignored indigenous fire management practices since European settlement, so bush fires have increased in severity.
Combine that with extended fire seasons due to climate change, and we have certainly screwed up our environment.
