Not about fire. About propelling. The bird was the example. Almost looks like they're racing.
I suppose I should look at the text but that is only an interpretation.

I for one, welcome my robot jetpack animal overlords.

My second choice....again...not about fire. Looks like a early take on a carrier pigeon.
I read the translation. Just believe it's a crock.

I love it Joe but like ye old mouse trap, a simple flaming arrow works.
The idea that a cat or bird will "cooly" fly to some strategic destination when their "coolie" is on fire is absurd. Someone was playing with someone's head.

Not an new idea
Judges 15:4 - And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. 5And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
