Extinct Birds If prehistoric birds existed with the dinosaurs then why do they say that the birds evolved from dinosaurs?

Question by Birdo: If prehistoric birds existed with the dinosaurs then why do they say that the birds evolved from dinosaurs?
This is what I read:

“All non-neornithean birds became extinct, including flourishing groups like enantiornithines and hesperornithiforms in K–T extinction event. Several analyses of bird fossils show divergence of species prior to the K–T boundary, and that duck, chicken and ratite bird relatives coexisted with non-avian dinosaurs (T-Rex)”.

So this makes the modern birds descendants of prehistoric birds who lived with dinosaurs, right?

Also, ducks and chickens lived with a T-Rex? I never knew that.

Answer by Todd
Dinosaurs existed for 165 million years. The split was quite a bit before the K-T extinction.

Question by →яαωя♥☺♣♫♠¡ ®™ ♥: Can someone answer these questions about the care of a pet bird?
I have some questions on owning pet birds.

1. Are birds very loud? (I know this varies with different types)
2. Which ones don’t “talk”?
3. What is the quietest one?
4. What is the best pet bird to adopt? (ex. macaw, parakeet, etc.)
5. Do they need to have time to be allowed to fly around the house, or is this too dangerous?

The more detail you give, the better. Thank you!
