  Remember where they came from: Dinosaurs. In fact, I have been told that calling birds "dinosaurs," is actually accurate. The lineage is pretty much a straight line. It also makes me wonder what it must have been like, back then. A lot of speculation is that dinosaurs (especially theropods) were extremely smart.

    That's right. Just like current macOS is not "Unix-like" or a descendant of Unix, but an actual Unix operating system, modern birds are actual dinosaurs. Wikipedia quote: Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute the only known living dinosaurs.
