I’ve been kind of interested in the discussion of ‘birds are dinosaurs/birds are not dinosaurs’:

I never knew about that argument.

The correct answer is most dinosaurs were birds. Birds didn’t develop from them, they were just a variety of bird. The few samples of dinosaurs skin we have all resemble chicken skin, not reptile scales. They were warm-blooded, had feathers, and probably had hollow bones.
As the article points out, birds are considered dinosaurs these days.
That is interesting. Thank you.
