My parents have a roadrunner who comes and suns itself on the iron table in front of their dining room windows. Likes the ventilation, I guess. And likes to drive their 3 cats absolutely MAD. They'll all be at the window, crazed and chittering, and it is out there, wings spread and relaxed.

aurelia, I'm so sorry about the theater! May good things come your way soon.
