They can't fly!

I mean flying is THE thing about birds. Like, if some dude came up to you and said he was a bird, your first go-to method of convincing him he's not is to ask him if he can fly.

But DevsBro, what about bats? Those fly!

Of course they do. They're birds. Flying makes them birds. Flies are birds. Mosquitos are birds. Pigeons, helicopters, pilots, all birds.

But ostriches? No. Can't fly? Not a bird.

Because bird is an English word and thus like the English language it needs some random and arbitrary exceptions to rules. Same thing with fish/mammal for dolphins

Wings are used to fly, and ostriches don't fly
therefore, does it have wings?

The only thing used to describe birds is feathers. Does it have feathers? Then it is a bird.

Pillows can go in planes/helicopters

Planes/helicopters fly

Hence, pillows can fly.

But what if the ostrich has its helicopter pilot license? Then it can fly, therefore it's a bird.

That's absurd

Who would give an ostrich a pilot's license

But sure, if an ostrich got its pilot's license, that one ostrich would be a bird.

What about ostrich eggs? What if a bigger bird eats one? Are ostrich eggs then birds, but no longer birds when they hatch?!

He said ostriches are birds and pillows aren't.

I'm calling the bird society to get him fired.

Wait a minute maybe we've been thinking about it backwards since the dawn of tim.

Maybe birds are a kind of ostrich instead of the other way around.

Oatriches that can fly. :O
