Birds as a clade are dinosaurs though :3

I don't really understand what you mean by 'status' since I think it's quite obvious not all dinosaurs are birds. I think Stargate was referring to paraves and related clades rather than all of dinosauria, because clearly there's a difference between a Stegosaurus and a sparrow xD

Edit: So in the time it took to post this... there's already been a 4 or 5 post discussion. Thanks laggy internet!! >:(

Just a branch of dinosaurs are more related to birds... not the whole calde. This is the kind of generalization that is refered to in the prehistoric speculation topic (where by the way is where this discussion should be moved since is off-topic in this topic).

And my reason jumps to the sight by only looking at all those groups of dinosaurs (and more) than have almost none of the birds characteristics... and most of them appeared BEFORE birds.
so your reasons are;
-they don't look enough like birds
-they appeared before birds

my evidence is
-they don't appear like any modern reptile either
-warm blooded
-feathers
-hollow bones
-the naming system doesn't work that way, so the fact birds appeared later is irrelevant since they were classified first

I'm not saying they are birds, I'm saying they are all (every clade) closer to birds than to "conventional reptiles"

I see no reason to move this since I think its over

I was trying to say what Okeanos said basically. And i agree they are close to birds, but not all of them were. And birds were named before because people didn't discovered the dinosaurs until much later than they discover birds (which was from the beginning of mankind basically). Just because they were named before doesn't mean that dinosaurs (all dinosaurs) were birds or should be classified as that. Like Okeanos said (and i was trying to point out) just a branch of dinosaurs were the ones to give origin to birds and the ones that came after coming from the same branch are the ones more related to them. The rest are just dinosaurs. They are indeed transitional animals between birds and reptiles, but they weren't birds.

And another thing, acording to what i read recently, they weren't neither cold or warmblooded but something in between.

And like Okeanos (and myself) said this discussion should be moved to the paleontology section ;)
