Darwin observed that ostriches, which are Flightless Birds, exhibit adaptations suited to their terrestrial environment, such as long legs for running and a lack of wings for flying. He noted that these adaptations were similar to those of other flightless birds in different regions, suggesting a common evolutionary ancestor. This observation contributed to his theory of natural selection, highlighting how species can evolve distinct traits based on their environments.
