I noticed that flying birds feed their chicks like pigeons and hawks. And birds that don’t fly don’t feed their chicks like chicken and Ducks.
Anyone knows the reason for that?
In: Biology
The distinction isn’t exactly between “flying” and “non-flying” birds; it’s between birds that keep their chicks in a nest up high for a long time, and birds that don’t.
Ducks, for example, can fly just fine, but (most at least) don’t keep their chicks in a high nest.
Birds that keep their chicks in a high nest must obviously bring the food to those chicks, because there isn’t any food up there. Birds that take their chicks around on the ground can let the chicks eat what they find.
