Birds that can fly have long wings, asymmetrical feathers, fewer feathers and a rounded breastbone.

Birds that cannot fly have short wings, symmetrical feathers, more feathers growing all over their body, and they have a flat breastbone.

A few flightless birds are:
Cassowary - Australia
Common Rhea - South America
Dinornis - New Zealand
Dodo - Australia
Emperor Penquin - Antartica
Emu - Australia
Jackass Penquin - South Africa
Kakapo - New Zealand
Kiwi - New Zealand
Moa - New Zealand
Nandu - South America
Ostrich - World Wide
Penquin - World Wide
Rhea - South America

There are others...but that would take up too much time and space...

The must fly (at least the males). I saw one on top of a house. It made a sound like a loud cat meowing.
The peahens (females) and chicks always seem to be on the ground looking for food. There is a neighborhood in FL where they live. They come out just before the sun goes down each evening.
Another flightless bird is an emu. Native to Australia.

Yes, peacocks can fly, and they make very strange sounds that most people do not like at all.
