    Though the common ancestor of all modern birds could fly, many different bird species have independently lost their flight. Flight can have incredible benefits, especially for escaping predators, hunting and traveling long distances. But it also has high costs: consuming huge amounts of energy and limiting body size and weight. Gillian Gibb explores what makes birds give up the power of flight.

      Roosters are named after what they do best.. roost. Chickens for centuries a very good at roosting and in nature this involved jumping, flying up into the trees and gliding into other trees to avoid predators.
      Many don't think Chickens as flying birds because they don't fly long distances.

      @@jasonni183 yes, evolution is as saying the earth is flat. Everyone believed that previously. Or that the universe had no beginning. All proven false and it correctly stood in the Quran. I get so sad that everyone believes evolution is true (yes "believes" because they're deluding themselves and not actually thinking about it) and then in a hundred years maybe when it's proven false everyone will think "how could they think evolution is true?" That's how people now think about people which thought the earth was flat. And evolution doesn't even explain where we come from. We also have DNA repair mechanisms, so how can errors lead to better change? Do people really think that we created ourselves? Can something nonexistent create itself? I hope they'll all be guided inshallah. Also, DON'T start a discussion with me now. Think for yourself.

      @@kayelynnphelps8676 No it's not, I said I don't want to discuss this, because every single time it starts from the beginning all over again with the same wrong claims. And that's no evidence, the fossils say nothing, and they even have to be manually reconstructed, because only tiny little fragments of them are actually recovered. And guess what? They completed a human skull fossil with the help of a chimpanzee skull. Yeah. Think about that. I'm constantly thinking about this and evolution is most definitely wrong. I'm not going to say anything anymore. God gave you the entirety of knowledge to the palms of your hand. Use it to find the right way. This is your one and only chance. You came here because you wanted paradise, this is the test. If God were to give direct evidence, there'd be no test and no paradise. Hope you'll get guided soon.

    "What if all birds can fly?"
    Imagine that ostrich fly over you.

    After watching this video about flightless bird,
    now I wonder if they can make a video about Platypus...
    also wondering, what's the different between emu and ostrich? I thought they kinda same...

    • @Madhattersinjeans
      @Madhattersinjeans 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      More or less, emus and ostriches have different ways of incubating their new born offspring and emus are farmed for their meat and oil. Ostriches for their feathers.
      Ostriches also have large eyes.
      Just from a quick google search, dunno if it's true.

      They are kinda the same
      They are cousins
      I'm not sure what the specific differences are, but the ostrich is bigger and they live in different continents, so even if they have a common ancestor they evolved differently

    My umbrella cockatoo is flightless by choice. She's middle-aged and set in her ways (I adopted her 9 years ago). She picks her feathers and seems to intentionally chew off her primary flight feathers. Even in situations where she would be able to get some lift she chooses to walk or yell for human transportation. She is extremely lazy and dramatic so I have to assume this is a conscious decision she's making. I love her.

    Because an evolutionary trait was successful in breeding. Similar to how some people don't need to work, yet keep breeding, and some people are genius' and don't breed. Traits that carry on through generations of survival, become dominant, not because they are valuable for survival, because they lucked out and survived.
