Birak Season is all about land care and preparation for new growth. Land (\u003cem\u003eboodja\u003c\/em\u003e) is slowly heated by the hot days, releasing the moisture that is returned by a break of rain. This cycle of hot weather and quenching rainfall enabled safe fire burning practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is why Birak is referred to as the 'Burning Season', where Noongar people would initiate 'controlled burning', in order for the land to regenerate and allow for environmental regrowth. Flame (\u003cem\u003edjarliny\u003c\/em\u003e) was an important tool used to assist regrowth, using a combination of heat to release seeds and smoke (\u003cem\u003ekoorl\u003c\/em\u003e) followed by rains to encourage the germination of seeds. Mosaic fire practices were utilised, and 'cool fire' practises ensured the fire was controlled at all times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChristmas Tree (\u003cem\u003eMoodjar\u003c\/em\u003e) with bright orange\/yellow flowers is now in full bloom. Reptiles are active and will be shedding their skin and young Magpies (\u003cem\u003eKoolbardi\u003c\/em\u003e) are learning new techniques but still reliant on their parents. The adult \u003cem\u003eKoolbardi\u003c\/em\u003e will often force independence of the young by a feeding demonstration followed by close supervision as they listen (\u003cem\u003eni\u003c\/em\u003e) to the constant calling for food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sea breeze in the mornings and evenings makes this time of year refreshing and the ocean always gave an abundance of fresh food.
