What a cruel joke: you're a bird but you can't fly! For about 60 species of our feathered friends, this is their reality. They have the feathers, the beak and the bird feet, but they just can't get airborne. In this quiz, we'll find out how much you know about these grounded animals.
From penguins to ostriches, there are many flightless birds all around us. Well, maybe not all around us, but they're there! For whatever reason, evolution led these birds down a path they wouldn't have chosen for themselves. All the trappings of birds without the ability to lift off . They're either too heavy, their wings are too short, or it just wasn't meant to be.
In this quiz, we'll see if your knowledge of these flightless creatures can take flight. Hopefully, with your knowledge, you can do the flying for them! Begin flapping and start answering!
