Don't some/all birds have mechanisms for "locking" their legs/feet so that effort it's required to stay upright on a branch?

I'm pretty sure I encountered a similar issue on Connect, but I've also noticed it on Sync. Might be the result of some Lemmy quirk.

Hah! That was definitely something that arrived in the "family" email that we all thought was just the funniest shit we had ever seen. Weirdly similar circumstances.
