Why is there a much greater diversity of flying birds than there is of flying mammals?
Think of it as the same thing as land mammals versus water mammals. Marine mammals first evolved to life on land and then adapted to return to the water, but not all mammals did that. Similar thing with birds. All birds evolved from common flying ancestors, whereas flying mammals evolved from land mammals at a much later point in evolutionary history. Hope that helps.
