That heavily depends on the type of bird. Some, like burrowing owls, barely fly at all, and when they do, it's short. Things like vultures, on the other hand, can soar for almost an infinite amount of time because of all the thermals drifting up from the hot desert floor. These thermals mean they almost never have to flap their broad wings, so they can go a long time without getting tired.

What is a group name for hoofed animals?

A Dawn Horse (Hyracotherium), dating roughly 50-55 million years ago.

Originally named Hyracotherium due to its easily noted similarity to the hyrax (rock badger), this tiny creature is generally considered by evolutionists to be the ancestor of a variety of extant mammals today, and most frequently included with the horse. It has been renamed Eohippus ("dawn horse") to fit this view, but there is still much debate over whether it is related to horses at all. Among other problems, its fossils have been found in the same rock layers as the species it supposedly evolved into. The traditional "horse evolution" chart still found in many high school biology textbooks is now considered to be obsolete or in great need of revision.

What's the difference between a cow and a calf?

A cow is a much larger animal than a calf. A calf is almost a miniature version of his mother (a cow), only he's more leggy, not as blocky, and way more cuter. Cows produce milk, so they would have an udder between their legs that the calf nurses from, whereas the calf only has tiny nipples (if it's a heifer) or a little nut sac (if it's a bull) hanging from between the legs that cannot be viewed until you have the calf on its back and spread its legs apart to determine it's sex. Calves are more bouncy and playful, were as cows are more lazy and mellower and would rather graze or sit and chew their cud than kick up their heels and chase each other around, inviting another to butt heads.

Basically, in a nut shell, a calf is the "baby", offspring, or young of a cow that can be either male (a bull calf) or female (a heifer calf), and a cow is a mature female bovine that has had a calf.
