I think it is the fact that birds are two-legged, like us, which gives them something of our balance and gesture and makes them nearer to us.

WHAT DOES TWO-LEGGED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Two-legged tie

In sport, a two-legged tie is a contest between two teams which comprises two matches or legs, with each team as the home team in one leg. The winning team is usually determined by aggregate score, the sum of the scores of the two legs. For example, if the scores of the two legs are: ▪ First leg: Team A 4–1 Team B ▪ Second leg: Team B 2–1 Team A then the aggregate score will be Team A 5–3 Team B, meaning team A wins the tie. In some competitions, a tie is considered to be drawn if each team wins one leg, regardless of the aggregate score. Two-legged ties can be used in knockout cup competitions and playoffs. In North America, where the word "tie" when used in the context of sports normally refers to a game ending in a draw, the term "two-game total-goals series" is the more common usage to refer to this competition format.
