I think the problem is that it makes too much sense. Birds (and fish) could easily all be the same kind of creature, just like dogs are.

But even if there is more than one kind of bird, some DNA similarity doesn't prove a dodo evolved into a pidgeon. They may both be variations of the same bird, in which case, they are both birds - the same kind of creature.

You seem a little short on rigor here. Are all birds the same species or not? Humans and chimps share 98% or so identical DNA. Are they the same species? If the California Condor and the Emporer Penguin share less than 98% of their DNA are they different species?

...they are both birds - the same kind of creature....

What does this mean? Are Birds a Kind in the Creationist sense of the word?
