That's oddly specific. How many birds are even in that category?

Quite a few, I'd suspect. How do you think migratory birds travel so far every year?

Most of them can fly a long time, but not stay flying for years to my knowledge? Geese and ducks have to make frequent stops usually at any rate

Kind of misleading as they have to land for food and water like all other creatures. They however don't have to land on land since they adapted to their ocean environment

They’re teaching the bird to fly.

Don't they basically use air currents to stay aloft so they minimize the "flappage" of them bird-up wings? Drifting?
