Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male
Hi I got a pet canary like 4 weeks ago and he seems to be standing on one leg and he starts to close his eyes and wink what does this mean???

This actually sounds like normal behavior when they get tired and start to go to sleep. When they sleep they always stand on one leg and their head is usually tucked into the wing. If he's otherwise eating, drinking and acting like a bird, then I would not worry. I hope that helps.
