I suppose if you are born with such feet, you find it easy to cling. Who do the feet belong to?
The cockatoo belongs to my son’s boss. He takes him to work with him, of course in a cage. Otherwise he is perched on the shoulders of the boss and now and again goes for a fly around outside. Here he is examining his claws and exercising the cling effect.

Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Passerine feet instantly curl around perches. It’s the way they are constructed. I’d try to give you a more technical description of the passerine foot, but you luck out: I can’t! The Internbet, however, explains it:
What is a passerine foot?
This arrangement is called anisodactyly. The passerine foot is designed to automatically grip and lock through a unique combination of muscles and tendons that cause the foot to automatically latch on to a perch. It is this feature that allows true perching birds–the passerines–to roost in trees and sleep without falling to the ground.

That is interesting. I didn’t know that. It explains why my birds do not fall from their perches when they eat to much and would lose their balance 😃

Yes, and why they can sleep in trees without problems.
