For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I dasagree with bill107. It is more to do with bird size and energy efficiency. In general, small birds hop and large birds walk/waddle. Some inbetween sized birds sometimes walk and sometimes waddle. I think obstacle size in relation to bird size also has an effect since a goose can easily walk through a field of stubble to pick up spilled grain, but a sparrow would find this difficult if it didn't hop.
