They're not knees. The bird's leg joint that we see is more like a human's ankle than a knee. But it's fun to call them knees. The joint that similar to a knee is higher, under the bird's feathers.
This is one of my first photos of a zoo animal. I hadn't had a camera very long, and I had even less of an idea of what I was doing than I do now. I took a picture of a white-naped crane, and it wasn't a satisfying image because it was standing close to a fence. On a whim, I zoomed-in on a "knee" and a foot.
Later, I thought it might be amusing to take a series of photos of birds' knees.
