I have actually had many experiences of real life animals in Open
Space, and they have all been birds.  I have had eagles soar
around, through and past our gathering places (even twice in the heart
of the city), I have had birds trapped in buildings where we were
opening space, and lots of times birds stop by in unusual poses. 
Once during a closing circle, a gull alighted on a window ledge and
peered in.  Every time someone finished speaking, the gull
laughed.  By the time we had heard from all thirty people in the
room, we were in hysterics.  The gull left after the circle.<br>
