Yes, tinamous can fly, but they are not strong fliers. They are primarily ground-dwelling birds found in Central and South America, and they typically prefer to run and hide from predators. When they do take flight, they are capable of short bursts of flight to escape danger, but they usually stay close to the ground. Their flight is characterized by rapid wingbeats and they are better suited for gliding than sustained flying.
