Why do waterfowl like flamingos and swans tend to stand around on one leg? I checked on the Internet and as it turns out people have various ideas on this. Many say it's a way for the birds to keep warm, and also to warm and dry the one (raised) foot. Others say it's a tactic for hunting prey -- i.e., by standing on one foot the predator looks less like a bird and more like a tree.
