Many leading paleontologist have postulated that dinosaurs behaved much like chickens or turkeys.
I have to admit that the thought of a one-ton chicken with big claws and teeth that can move that fast is pretty terrifying and it will always capture our imagination.
Think instead of the dining room table at Thanksgiving... I want a drumstick! You’d need 50gal drums of gravy, and the filling/stuffing bowl would be enormous. And a tractor bucket to bring-in the cranberry relish.
Most modern taxonomist classify birds as dinosaurs. Chickens and turkeys are theropod dinosaurs (first proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley) in the same clade as T. rex.
