My grandfather's parakeet ("Prettyboy") used to fly into his room every morning and peck at his head until he woke up. One morning my grandfather decided to sleep late, so he closed his bedroom door the night before. When he opened the door the next morning, he was greeted by the sight of Prettyboy lying unconscious on the floor.
Prettyboy recovered, and lived several years after that, but I don't believe my grandfather ever shut the door on him again.
A comedian once asked why birds are always flying into mirrors. He could understand that perhaps they see the mirror as a window into another room, but, he asked, "Don't they see the other bird coming?"
