Parrots hold their food in one leg when eating. And some raptors fish for their prey inside tree hollows with legs too. Are there more examples of birds using legs as arms?
The only case I saw was with chopi blackbird. Chopi (Gnorimopsar chopi) belongs to Icteridae and resembles starlings somewhat in behaviour, inhabits South America.
So a chopi was walking around on an open ground covered with rather short grass, looking for insects. It noticed some prey at the end of a plant that was higher than the bird. Without any hesitation the chopi lifted one leg, grabbed the stalk of the plant were it could reach and bent it towards itself, snatching the insect from the tip.
