Have you ever wondered how they keep their balance like that? All of the birds seem to do it no trouble at all, but when I do - whooops!

Smart capture. Specially the 'single leg balance'
Reminds me a PJ(real PJ)
ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ : ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಯಾಕೆ ಒಂಟಿ ಕಾಲಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತು ಕೋಳ್ಳುತ್ತೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾ ?
ಉತ್ತರ : ಎರಡು ಕಾಲು ಎತ್ತಿದರೆ ಬಿದ್ದ್ ಹೊಗಲ್ವ್ವಾ ಗುಗ್ಗು ;-)
