For most current paleontologists, birds aren’t just descendants of dinosaurs, they ARE, in cladistic analysis, dinosaurs.
As a matter of fact, current thinking indicates that the famous fossil bird archeopteryx may be less closely related to modern birds than are the dromaeosaurids (troodon, dromaeosaurs, velociraptors, and their kin).
Yeh I’ve seen several shows on that. Same bone structure. They think many even had feathers.
