what is the only bird that can fly all day without once flappinng its wings?

Answer 1

Its the Condor I think, they surf the therms all day

Either of two species of large New World vultures. Two of the largest flying birds, each is about 4 ft (1.2 m) long. Both feed on dead animals. The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus), which ranges from the Pacific coast of South America to the high Andes Mountains, has slightly longer wings (10 ft [3 m]) and is black with a white ruff and bare pinkish head and neck. The California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is nearly black, with white wing linings, a bare yellow head, and a red neck. It hovered on the brink of extinction in the 1980s, and every California condor was captured. Careful nurturing has since led to the release of more than 200 condors into the wild.

Answer 2

Mostly birds of prey, such as eagles, condors and vultures. Some seabirds like the albratros can also fly without flapping wings. The use air thermals, which is rising colombs of hot air rising from the ground. They can stay in the air for days without moving its wings, it just depends on the weather ofcourse.

Many migration birds can travel thousands of miles to other continents. In order to conserve energy it has to glide for long periods at a time. The also fly in V-formation which provides the birds with less air resistance, but this normally occurs with regular flapping of wings. The bird in front then periodical swaps with another one.

Answer 3

It's the Wandering Albatross
They're the world's long-distance fliers.
They are so aero-dynamic they can just ride the winds without flapping their wings.

Another bird is the European Swift. They can stay aloft for years at a time. Eating and even sleeping on the wing.
(As I am writing this however, I wonder if they can mate on the wing as well.)

Answer 4

Larry Bird

Answer 5

All birds have to flap their wings at some point - but the swift or swallow, once they get going, just glide around in big circles in the sky for ages, without flapping their wings, this will all depend on the wind as well

Answer 9

I am almost positive that it is the Albatross, and I think it can sleep while doing this too.

I'd go with albatross too or maybe a condor.
