SKINNY LEGS (Show Me A Photo Contest Round 28)

Hello everyone, like always this week's topic is a bit tricky. When i first saw the topic i thought it will be super easy but when i searched my gallery for bird feet and legs i hardly find 3 or 4 photos.

These birds are similar to marsh sand pipers. We can distinguish them from the shape of their lower bill . They have long greenish legs. I think i have took this pic from Cherai beech.

Last but not least i am gonna show you all the baby legs . Cute legs of a cute little chick .

This photo was taken , when i went to my friends house.

Since it is about birds feet and legs, i thought of sharing some of the facts that i know about birds legs. May be you all knew this.

The bird with the strongest legs is the ostrich.

Most Birds are digitigrade. Which means instead of walking on their entire feet they walk on their toes.

The sharp claws of birds are also called talons.

I know that the clarity of the photos are not up to the mark. But thats all i have .

THANK YOU
