Flame birds

Moments of clarity are few and far between. Yesterday, however, I had one of those moments. While meditating, gazing at this flame, I noticed the candle's reflection. Although candle reflections are not new to me (I've looked at plenty o' reflections) I noticed something different about this flame specifically. It was moving in such a way that the flame along with its reflection appeared to be a bird in flight. I've never seen/noticed anything like it. It was utterly mesmerising.
