Ungulate bird

Description

When the birds lost flight due to a very deadly parasite, which only infests feathered and hairy animals, they evolved some very strange forms.
A lot of ground-dwelling bird species evolved a quadrupedal gait and fleshy, pointed and prehensile lips in order to grasp leaves and twigs when feeding.

Amazing creature. is interesting as it has created a kind of four-legged bird, because the current anatomy prevents birds walk on four legs.
