Why birds fly myth

Birds used to walk on the ground all the time. They could not fly even if they tried. They got the ability when 2 carless birds were goofing off. They were so distracted that they accidently pecked Gia in the heel. She saw them and was furious at them and said. “Tomorrow I will suck all of your kind into the earth when I catch all of you”. The birds as scared as ever went to Zeus, king of the gods pleaded, “Help us oh powerful Zeus don’t let Gia suck all of our kind in to the earth”. Zeus thought of what to do and said, “I will not go up agesnt her power but I will make it so that she will not suck you up. I will allow you to fly into the air and I will send Hermes to warn all of the other birds”. The birds flapped m,their wings and they could fly making Gia think that they were gone.
