The Kiwi

and other flightless birds

Brian Gill

“All birds -- and only birds among living animals -- have feathers, and certain feathers have evolved to help make flight possible. Flightlesness in birds is therefore ironical, because it is almost a definition of birds that they fly.”

David Bateman. 1999
