These birds, along with the rhea, are all flightless. Although they are classed as birds, they are among the very few birds that can't actually fly at all. They are members of a group of birds called ratites. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.
