The great majority of birds can fly, so it is easier to list e birds that cannot fly.

There are 7 families of Flightless Birds in total. They include the Kiwi, Cassowaries, Rheas, Ostriches, Tinamous, Emus and Penguins.

There are also numerous flightless birds within other groups of birds which are mostly made up of species which can fly. Rails, for example, include waterfowl such as moorhens, swamp hens and other small to medium birds which can fly but prefer not to. They cannot fly for any great distance, and within the rail family, there are numerous flightless birds, such as the Takahē and the weka of New Zealand, and the Inaccessible Island rail.

Other bird families have some members which cannot fly, even though most of the family can. Thekakapo, which lives in New Zealand, is the world's only flightless parrot. The flightless steamer duckof the Falkland Islands is another bird which is an anomaly with its family. The Giant Coot of South America is unusual, as the adult cannot fly, but the young birds can.
