Birds, like other animals, shift their weight occasionally in order to avoid muscle and tendon strain, especially when perching. When they sleep or rest they often raise one foot, later the other, which is more or less the same as a human rolling over in bed. In cold weather, they alternate raising their feet up into the insulation and warmth of their feathers in order to avoid frostbite. When they need to take off, they use both feet to get a boost from their powerful thigh muscles.
