NZ has many different flightless birds because there were no land predators in Aotearoa (NZ) for birds until white mean brought rats, stoats, ferrets, cats, etc. Prior to that the only predators were human, and they were only in recent centuries and have caused the extinction of some of our birds such as the giant Moa bird, which as much larger than a horse.
