Of course you can have convergent evolution of flightless birds: it's happened plenty enough times on Earth, and these birds are classified separately within the Aves. On Earth. My point is that the taxonomy project here isn't to classify creatures based on evolutionary relationships, because Spore creatures are usually from entirely different planets and so such relationships generally don't exist. It's to classify creatures based on their appearance, so all creatures that have the same set of features are in the same taxon. If there are two taxa that both mean "ratite-like flightless birds", the project has failed that task.

As for the cell taxa, I'll leave them for now. If you do ever decide you want them to be deleted, put the delete template on one of them or let me or another admin know in some other way, because only administrators can actually delete pages.
