static methods question

Static methods executes at compile time then it executes before the object construction (as they get constructed during run time). But in our main method we create a class object and invoke class methods right . How does this happen when the method execution is happening at compile time it should throw an exception for object construction. Can you explain

public class animal {

public void behaviour() {

System.out.println("I am a dog");

}

}

public class Tiger {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Animal ani = new Animal();  // here we are construction animal object which gets created runtime. How come static method gets executed then?                                         ani.behaviour();                                               

}

}

sorry this is not related to GWt
