When a creature capable of flight picks up an animal, flies up high into the air and drops the animal to it's doom below. It gets it's name from the gory explosion caused when most creatures fall from an incredible height, which almost looks like a firework of blood and guts that was launched downward at the ground from up high.
Some birds struggle with the powerful defenses of turtles, so rather than piercing them they decide to pull a reverse firework and then just eat whatever is left.
