There is just one big problem that has been overlooked: the pulmonary systems are totally different, and you can get from one to the other.

Mammals breathe in and out; birds breathe straight through.

Stop drinking the koolaid. First, dinosaurs weren't mammals, so your reply is wrong form its inception. Secondly, this is a study at the protein level that validates the anatomical studies. Strong supporting evidence. Third, Like us, "birds need to breathe air in and out of their lungs in order to fulfil the cycle of bringing oxygen into the body to be used in metabolism and also to take the waste CO2 away from the body." http://www.earthlife.net/birds/breath.html
