A bird without wings exists, but it never flies anywhere. Similarly, intelligence produces great ideas, but without the driving force of ambition (a willingness to do the work to turn a concept into reality) those ideas usually never end up 'taking off' either.
This expression is an example of a metaphor: it directly compares two things (intelligence and birds) to make a point. If it had said instead, "Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings," it would have been a simile, an indirect comparison of the two ideas.

An albatross can glide over a thousand miles without flapping its wings.
A bird can flap its wings without moving by using its muscles to create a motion similar to flapping, but without actually lifting off the ground or moving forward. This can be done as a form of exercise or to maintain balance while perched.
When a bird flaps its wings without taking flight, it typically does so to maintain balance, regulate body temperature, or communicate with other birds. The movement is rhythmic and can vary in speed and intensity depending on the bird's needs.
