Why does this look functionally better than a normal chick?

This one has….evolved

This is kinda how evolution works. Random mutations in genes. The good mutations carry on through breeding.

It would be kind of funny if birds evolved wings to get away from prey, evolved to become flightless because of a lack of prey, then evolved arms again because the flightless thing wasn't panning out. I await the inevitable re-evolution of wings so we can go full circle with this story.
