im sorry but they are by deffinition reptiles
under phylogenic clasification
They aren't tho
you cant argue againsed a deffinition
Show your source please
there is wikipedia
there are a few others but i have to find them
I'm on the wiki for Ornithurae
go up the chain
To the Phylum?
That wouldn't make sense
Avialae
go up untill you hit Avialae
then look what its under
dinosauria
click that and see what its under
eventually Archosaur
wich is under reptilia (sauria)
i have a text clasification of many species of extinct membders of sauria
im having a bit of problem with pantestudines
birds are still dinosaurs
But to call them reptiles is needlessly pendantic, and at worst a little disingenuous
under phylogenic clasifification
its not pendantic
its deffinitional
under phylogenic clasification
If you say "birds are lizards" you ignore what differentiates birds from lizards
just like how in science the word theory means something else
i never said birds are lizards
lizards are a subclade of reptile
Apologies
"birds are reptiles"
ye
their features all average out to it being a reptile
being warmblooded was the only reason they got feathers
That's a reach
That's a huge reach
geting feathers and being warm blooded is a strong difrence and would make it effected by difrent natural selective forces
you are bound to get something that looks quite difrent
We don't know why Dino's got feathers yet, but we have a few theories as to why they started flying
