There is one group of birds that have teeth as juveniles, but lack any other reptilian features.

Maybe you are thinking of egg teeth? Those are not really teeth. It's just an expression.

Naw. I goofed and confused it with the wing claws. I do get a bit daft at times.

You know who else has egg teeth? Some marsupials, who never need to use it since they are born live and never have to break through a shell. Further discussion and references.

This fact makes perfectly good sense from the evolutionary point of view, but is hard to reconcile with any sort of *intelligent* design; why make something that's never used, only to have it disappear later? Some engineer!
