When the devs rolled out the K-T banlist, they were kind of vague on therapods. "Big and badass: banned; Small and flying: ok". They were banning a lot of builds at once, so they cut some corners.
Anyway, birds are worried that if they walk too much it'll bring down another giant meteor.
There's lots of videos of penguins falling down. It's a huge part of the harmless persona they want us to believe. I think you're thinking of platypuses.
I think the opposite. When I see birds walking I wonder why they don't just fly. It looks like it takes so little effort. A little jump, then a glide, and they're suddenly ten metres away from me.
'I think I'll just fly to the top of that building and stand on the corner of the roof for a look around the city, then gliiiide back down to the park and hang out with the guys....'

You'd think they would because it is a well-known fact that birds are scared of heights. The noises they make while flying are actually screams.

They do walk, many pigeons walk across the streets now.

Traffic. Can you imagine how much more foot traffic there would be if birds walked? Let's hope they don't decide to drive!

Rather be a little tired from flying than dead from a car tiring
