When not flying, do all birds fold their wings against their sides/backs?
Do any birds fold their wings across their chest? (Either overlapping or not.)

Bats cross their arms when resting. Any birds?
 
No flying bird.

A few birds can move wings forward in display, or clap wings against each other in flight (e.g. domestic pigeons).
