101 u/Winter-Actuary-9659 Mar 06 '25 Well they are related. 6 u/DizzyGlizzy029 Mar 06 '25 Nope, birds ARE dinosaurs. Not related. Most people actually don't know this lol 5 u/Winter-Actuary-9659 29d ago I know, I mean specifically that kind of small dinosaur is likely an ancestor of the modern chicken. 3 u/Curious_Viking89 29d ago Except that's a tyrannosaur chick. And tyrannosaurs aren't the ancestors of chickens 3 u/DizzyGlizzy029 29d ago Yeah, birds are basically dromarosauridae. Which means the tyrannosaur is related to the chicken, but not an ancestor if I remember correctly 2 u/Curious_Viking89 29d ago That is correct. Both are therapods. 2 u/DizzyGlizzy029 29d ago To add to this. Chickens aren't the closest related bird to tyrannosaurus. Don't know where that came from but yeah it's not true Edit:said dinosaurs instead of tyrannosaurs 3 u/longingrustedfurnace 29d ago Technically they are, in the sense that all birds are equally related to the T. rex. 1 u/DizzyGlizzy029 29d ago Yeah that's I meant, but most people think that the chicken is a direct descendant from the tyrannosaurus. 1 u/Hc_Svnt_Dracons 29d ago edited 29d ago Slight correction, birds are not dromaeosaurs, they are avialae. They are related through being paraves. For comparison, cats and dogs are both a part of the carnivora clade. However, cats are felidae and dogs caninae. 3 u/DizzyGlizzy029 29d ago Ahh yes, your right. I see now. So dromarosauridae is related to birds (avialae) through paraves. Makes sense. I got confused, I thought sense paraves was in dromarosauridae. I just messed up. 1 u/Winter-Actuary-9659 29d ago I didn't know that, I thought it was one of those little ones that survived the mass extinction. 5 u/Curious_Viking89 29d ago All the dinosaurs that survived the cretaceous mass extinction were already very similar to modern birds 1 u/Winter-Actuary-9659 29d ago That's what I meant. 3 u/Hc_Svnt_Dracons 29d ago edited 29d ago Here's a great video by Clint's Reptiles on bird's phylogeny. He's also has others on how they survived mass extinction.

Slight correction, birds are not dromaeosaurs, they are avialae. They are related through being paraves.
For comparison, cats and dogs are both a part of the carnivora clade. However, cats are felidae and dogs caninae.

I didn't know that, I thought it was one of those little ones that survived the mass extinction.
