Black Kite Bird Responsible For Australian Fire Was Mentioned In Quran And Should Be Killed



A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as saying: "Five are the harmful things which should be killed in the state of Ihram or otherwise: snake, speckled crow, rat, voracious dog, and kite"


The Black kites has the behavior of spreading fires by picking up flaming twigs and take them to an unburnt area of grass and drop it in there to set new blazes to scare animals like small birds, lizards and insects which flee the grasslands. This is why black kites are nicknamed as 'fire hawks'.

Until 2018 it was thought the birds were just spreading fire by accident, according to National Geographic.


Yet with further research into their behavior, it was found they were intentionally spreading the fires for their own benefit.  
A first-hand account of a sighting by Waipuldanya inspired Gosford to co-author a 2017 report into the raptors in the Northern Territory

."I have seen a hawk pick up a smoldering stick in its claws and drop it in a fresh patch of dry grass half a mile away, then wait with its mates for the mad exodus of scorched and frightened rodents and reptiles. When that area was burnt out, the process was repeated elsewhere. We call these fires Jarulan," Waipuldanya said.
