Trying to bring some life into this community. One of the things that has always fascinated me about totk is all the crazy contraptions people build, so I’ll be posting them as I come across them and crediting where I can.

As a side note, I was unaware you could do this to the cucco

I am guessing since the source of damage is "environmental" and not a direct from the player. Otherwise, from a coding perspective, you'd run the risk of angering the horde of cuckoos if you light any part of the environment on fire, even inadvertently, and a dumb bird walks into it. Would also probably require tracking the origin of an environmental fire, which could be the player, or a lightning strike, or a fire blob, or some other enemy that uses fire weapons, and I'm not sure the game bothers tracking all that.

Could also just be a direct interaction with fire to turn the cuckoo into a cooked whole bird with no angry flock no matter what. Not sure if the same happens when shooting them with a fire arrow or hitting with a fire-imbued weapon or anything like that, but I'm happy to (let someone else) try it out and report back with findings.

This makes the most sense, since I was watching and trying to figure out how they were circumventing it.

The cooked poultry isn't coming from a cucco, but from another wild bird that was hidden in the box before the video started. There is no way to kill cuccos. They produce eggs and that's it.
