This bird might seem like he's missing a leg, but that's not the case. He is actually fine and has both his legs. But why can't we see his other leg? That's because he's exhibiting a behavior called "unipedal resting," where it stands on one leg while tucking the other leg beneath its body or wing. This behavior presumably aids in retaining heat, because the legs are potentially a major source of heat loss in birds.
