Rest-A-Leg - a photo on Flickriver

Rest-A-Leg

            Why birds stand on one leg , I am still trying to work that one out - yes one leg gets a rest , but then the other one gets double the work and has to work harder keeping balance !!
  I am also not sure what they are doing with their feather sticking out every which way .
  If they do overbalance the landing will be soft - but wet !!
