Slightly bend the leg in knee

[nikica]

Hi,

I'm trying to animate a bird walk cycle. The legs are completely straight when the bird is making the step. Is there a way to shorten a step and to make a leg slightly bent in knee?

Thanks

Hi!
It seems to me I can solve, but, if it still actual, could you please specify more details? Screenshot of your leg rig? Does it rigged by leg part layers or path stroke? Does it have the knee joint (vertice/anchor point as knee for the case if the leg is rigged by path on a single layer)?
