I never knew some birds could let half their brain sleep. Interesting and quite incredible. :thanks4sharingthumb

I'm no expert in this, but I always thought prey animals slept this way in order to keep abreast of their predators.

Susanne, I just thought they were light sleepers and would hear any noises like we did when our children were infants. I would swear I could hear them breathe from just a few feet away!
