Dinosaurs evolved into birds. First by growing feathers (probably for mating displays, then flight)
Answer:Birds do have many features in common with theropods (bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs) which suggests that they had a common ancestor. We dont know that this common ancestor was a dinosaur though. It may well have been a bird (see related links).Looking back in time through the theropod fossil record, these dinosaurs appear to be more bird-like the further back in time you look. Raptors are known to have had feathers and were fairly bird-like, but Archaeopteryx was much more bird-like and lived much earlier and may have been an ancestor of the raptors. There is also a controversial fossil called Protoavis that was dated even earlier and was more bird-like still, with hollow bones like modern birds.
So birds may have been around throughout the mesozoic era and even pre-date the dinosaurs. We have little record of them though because their hollow bones decompose very easily so are less likely to leave fossils. We do have some very ancient bird footprints though (see link).
It may be more accurate to call the theropods Flightless Birds, rather than calling birds dinosaurs.

A penguin is a bird. Many scientists say that makes it a dinosaur as well as birds can be classified as the only surviving branch of the dinosaurs.

We would conclude that the bird and the dinosaur lived around the same time.
There is no such thing as a dinosaur that flys. The difference between a pteradoctyl and a bird is: Birds have feathers and pteradoctyl's don't. The difference between a oviraptor and a bird is: Oviraptor have hands and birds have wings.
Not in the traditional sense of dinosaurs, a dodo bird is not a dinosaur. "Classic" dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago, whereas dodo birds only went extinct recently (a few hundred years). However, many scientists today agree that birds as a whole are dinosaurs.
Birds and dinosaurs existed at different time periods. Therefore, birds cannot fight, let alone kill, a dinosaur, so a bird can't do anything to kill a dinosaur. i love Amy
