Um, quite a few Aussie birds have adapted to fire - and hang around the ashes after a bushfire has passed to peck up cooked insects etc. Especially the raptors. Bronzewing hawks in particular will congregate around bushfires to harvest burned prey. Would NOT surprise me if maggies did something similar.
