Puzzle #13 - Flightless Birds

Over time, a surprising number of birds have lost their ability to fly. Being flightless has several advantages. For example, a flightless bird doesn’t need to develop and carry large flight muscles or burn up the energy that flying requires. A flightless bird can also get by with less food, which means it can survive in places where food is scarce.

Which of these birds can still fly?


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
