Birds and insects have no structural similarities that would suggest they are closely related in the same taxonomic rank. The bird and insect are both in the animal kingdom, and that is as close in relation as scientifically proven.

∙ 9y agoNo, insects and birds do not share any structural similarities that suggest that they could be taxonomically related. Insects can have wings like birds, but insect and bird wings are considered analogous structures instead of examples of taxonomical relatedness.
