    No, they can actually fly. Chickens bred and kept for meat have trouble flying, but that is because they are too heavy for that very reason. Or they were kept in an enclosure that they could not exercise their wings. They don’t have the muscles to get off the ground. Parrots kept in a too small cage without being let out have the same problem. They could fly if they were allowed to build up those muscles.
