Firehawks - The Crazy Fire Starters of Australia

in animals •  6 years ago 

howdy there youhavewings! I just went to your blog and saw the photo with the seagulls against the sun, wow!
anyway yes I was shocked at these crazy like a fox birds. I didn't know that birds could be clever but these are!
frustrating for the poor firefighters though.
thanks so much for commenting!

Thank you, @janton! You are much too kind.

Oh yes, birds are very intelligent creatures for sure! LOL

I was just wondering if this is some sort of built in 'instinct' with the birds or they are being troublemakers. If they are just being troublemakers, perhaps the firefighters can negotiate with them and come up with a treaty ;) LOL It is a fascinating story - very fascinating. Birds are usually afraid of fires so why would they pick up fire?

Yes, crazy like a fox - you're a hoot @janton - I so miss the southern sayings. Always made me laugh. I'm in NC now so don't get as much up here.

I'm following you just so I can read your words. Grinnin' like a possum eatin' a sweet tater!

Have a wonderful day!

hahaha! howdy again youhavewings! that is so nice of you and I thought they would still have lots of sayings in North Carolina, is that not still the South?

or has it become to urbanized? "Grinnin' like a possum eatin' a sweet tater!" hahaha! I love that one too, great job and thank you so much for commenting!

as far as the birds and their actions go, I don't know, that's what was so fascinating about this story, I think they are just alot smarter than we thought because obviously they can plan, use tools and get food for themselves!
alot of humans cain't even do that!

Yes, North Carolina is considered the South (I think up to Virginia) although that line has certainly become grey. My area is a bit more urbanized and increasing by the day. When we first moved here, we lived in the 'sticks' hehe There are a lot of areas in NC that are very much still simple with the southern culture in tact - which I love. I'm not real fond of miles of strip malls and cell phone towers and we have a lot of big city migration here - population has tripled. I used to live in Mobile, Al and Louisiana - they are also unrecognizable. Kinda sad. I think culture and traditions are important - everything is becoming so homogenized these days.

yes Ma'am! same here in Texas with over 1,000 people a day moving here, most from CA and NY so our Texas culture is going away and being replaced with socialist ideals. very sad. except in the rural areas like where we are.

Sound like you need to move back into more country areas, is that possible or practical?

I understand! I just watched a short documentary the other day on what is happening in SF and was shocked. It's soooo bad :( We also have family in Ca - it is very concerning.

We are planning a move, just don't know what that looks like yet. Definitely in the country though.

G. Edward Griffin has an excellent speech on the different types of government - very educational. ;)

howdy back youhavewings! what is happening in San Francisco? I haven't heard.

yawser!! wow youhavewings I am clueless as to what in the world is going down out there, thanks for the information. I guess if you're homeless you should head to SF. nice weather and it's a whole subculture there. and getting worse all the time!
I wonder how much of the situation is caused by liberal politician policies?
thank you so much!
