Kagu
The Kagu's ashy white feathers, which are its most noticeable trait, have given it the moniker "the ghost of the forest". This rare and unusual bird can only be found in the New Caledonian island chain, where it is protected as an endangered species and a national symbol. This is especially terrible given how fascinating these birds are. These birds can't fly, even though they have huge wings. Rather, they mostly flap their wings to fend off predators that might harm their young. The dark stripes on its wings are thought to serve as a deterrent.
These strange birds of the planet are skilled navigators even when they lack the ability to fly. It can move swiftly and easily through its habitat's dense roots and rocks thanks to its large legs, which also make it a good runner. Even when it's at its most athletic, its big wings keep it balanced.
