flamingoes, roadrunners, peacocks, turkeys and chickens can all fly. Living flightless birds are the ratites (kiwis, ostrich, emu, cassowaries, rheas), penguins (17 species), Galapagos cormorant, kakapo (a NZ parrot), several ducks (Campbell and Auckland Island teals, and some of the South American steamer ducks), and a number of rails (including the takahe, weka, etc). Recently extinct species (from the last couple of thousand years, due to human hunting) include great auk, broad-billed parrot, hundreds or even possibly thousands of species of rails, some penguins, moa, elephant birds, even some owls, pigeons (including the dodo and solitaire) and passerines (Canary Island bunting, Stevens Island wren, stout-legged wren and curve-billed wren; the last three all from NZ)

Flamingoes are not flightless, they fly very well.
Rhea, cassowary, kakapo, takahe, weka, kiwi, galapagos cormorant are all flightless as were the recently extinct dodo and great auk.

turkeys and chickens can only fly like 20 feet in the air for just a little bit, this is to get away from wolfs and stuff
