I mean birds that can’t fly aren’t really destined for survival.

I'm not saying they need to be extinct; I'm saying that it's not likely given it's traits that it will survive as a species.

That's why 57 other species survived right

That's because nz historically hasn't had many mammals thus the birds haven't evolved with much predation, and have become flightless. It's introduced species such as stoats and possums that are endangering our native birds

Penguins fly in the water and ostrichs beat the shit out of anything that dares

Ye, they have features that make up for their lack of flight, but I’m not sure what makes this birb special except for its size

This is an NZ species. It's pretty rare but I've seen a couple whilst camping.

Do they really look like that? That picture almost looks like a neon green photoshopped owl!

They can fly kinda like chicken. They're one of the most intelligent birds known.
