Birds are more closely related to reptiles than they are to mammals. Birds, reptiles, and mammals all belong to a group of vertebrates called amniotes, which split off from amphibians. Amniotes split into two groups soon after they evolved: true reptiles and synapsids. Mammals are the only living synapsids today. Dinosaurs branched off from the reptiles and birds then evolved from the dinosaurs.
