I've just stumbled across an old usenet posting from 11 years ago, showing the highlights of an internet survey I conducted back in 1991. I asked the usenet group talk.philosophy.misc “what is your favourite flightless bird, and in less than 14 words, why?”
The results are quite illuminating.
So, what is your favourite flightless bird?

You know a man for 7 years and he can't even remember your Ostrich?

How about birds which can fly rather well but manage to keep that a secret from most, like Turkeys?
