G'day Everyone,

Can someone help please? I have been asked how it is that some birds can call all night long, apparently doing without sleep.

This started me wondering about migrating sea birds - I think I read somewhere that they can, er, 'cat-nap' on the wing. Is this correct? Do birds sleep so lightly that they have catch-up naps all through the day or night? Help!!!
