A developer creates a Bird superclass with a fly() method. They then create an Ostrich subclass that extends Bird. Because ostriches cannot fly, the developer overrides the fly() method in the Ostrich class to immediately throw an UnsupportedOperationException. Which SOLID principle does this specific design directly violate?

A developer creates a Bird superclass with a  fly()  method. They then create an Ostrich subclass that extends Bird. Because ostriches cannot fly, the developer overrides the  fly()  method in the Ostrich class to immediately throw an UnsupportedOperationException. Which SOLID principle does this specific design directly violate?

Dependency Inversion Principle, because the high-level bird depends on the low-level ostrich.
