we really shouldn’t consider birds to be dinosaurs. Like, sure, in a “are they in a clade together?” sense, they’re dinos. But in that sense, I’m a fish. It’s only a useful statement so long as everyone understands how useless it actually is.

Couldn’t agree more if I tried for a week non stop. Spot on!

Birds evolved about 150 million years ago, while the dinosaurs evolved about 250 million years ago and died out 66 million years ago. So birds and dinos coexisted for quite a while

Huh! Didn’t know that! Thanks! 🫶
