Swallows have learned to open parking garage doors
"When the University of Victoria in Canada
opened a new campus bike centre in the parkade located under the
University Centre last November, motion-activated doors were installed
to discourage swallows from nesting in the new facility. But when the
swallows returned to their familiar nest sites a few weeks ago, they
were undeterred by this peculiar impediment: they quickly learned how to
open the doors by flying in front of the infrared motion detector, as
you see in this video."

I for one, welcome our new swallow overlords.
