fat-birds:fat-birds:Blue Tit (One Legged) by CMM_456 on Flickr.Birds are so funny when they stand on one leg, I wonder why they do it! They stand on one leg for the reason of tucking it up out of the cold air and under their insulating feathers. They conserve body heat by doing so. Especially true of birds that stand in water for a long time! It may also just be habit in other situations where they may be cozy but still like to tuck up their leg (like getting a blanket out even when it’s hot; I suppose) -- source link
