Bats in the belfry eh? Birds from bats makes about as much sense as bats from birds, I would have thought. More so if you're a troll, as Steve Martin suggested. In any case, given bats fly in the dark (rather than the air), I see no reason why you couldn't have bats flitting about before the air, fire and other younger elements appeared.
