Why do only some birds fly??
Asked by deepali.09deshmukh | 17 Sep, 2019, 07:00: PM
Expert Answer
- Birds use their strong breast muscles to flap their wings and give them the thrust to move through the air and fly.
- Some birds are unable to fly if their wingspan or breast muscles are not great enough to create the lift needed to fly.
- Birds such as ostriches, emus, and kiwis cannot fly as their flat breastbones lack the keel that anchors the strong pectoral muscles required for flight.
- These birds are called flightless birds which have lost the ability to fly in the course of evolution.
