Many birds rest on one leg, while some may pull up their legs into their feathers, especially in cold weather.
Some birds have also demonstrated the capacity to fall into slow-wave-sleep on one hemisphere of the brain at a time. The birds tend to exercise this ability depending upon its position relative to the outside of the flock. This may allow the eye opposite the sleeping hemisphere to remain vigilant for predators by viewing the outer margins of the flock.
