Running Slowly
Running Slowly by Leah Palmer Preiss, aka Curious Art. I loved it!
According to my trusty 1878 Chambers’s Encyclopedia of Universal Knowledge, “The birds were easily killed, being wholly unable to fly, and running slowly. Their speedy extinction after the islands began to be visited and settled, is thus easily accounted for.”
Maybe it was the shoes?
