Mine also involves birds. I couldn't sleep so I took a book and went downstairs, so as to not wake anyone with the lights. At maybe 4am, I had finished the book so I got out of the kitchen, switched on the light in the corridor... and two swallows took off from maybe 20cm above my hand and gracefully made their way to the opposite side of said corridor.
We retiled the roof the summer after that.
