Ornithischians with a hip structure similar to that of present day birds.
Birds are thought to have come from the lizard-hipped dinosaurs but not bird-hipped dinosaurs.
Saurischians
saurischians
Theropod dinosaurs.
ornithischian
Yes
Theropod dinosaurs for one.
how are parts of birds & fish similar in structure & function

vestigial organs such as a tail bone in humans and a hip bone in whales. also, the skeletal structure of wings of birds, flippers of whales, and hands of humans are all very very similar in structure.

A structure with similar shape but a different use
because some dinosaurs like the velociraptor have been discovered with feathers. and even some dinosaurs in there bone structure have the shape of birds. like the t-rex has the hip structure of a lizard and the velociraptor had the hip structure of a modern day bird
Dinosaurs were divided into two big groups: ornistichia (bird hip) and saurischia (lizard hip). The confussing part is that scientists believe that birds evolved from a group of therapods similar to small velociraptors and therapods are saurischia.
No, birds didn't evolve from lizards, but they did evolve from dinosaurs, a different group of reptiles. Dinosaurs are different from lizards especially because of their hip structure. Birds descended from a group of dinosaurs known as theropods (bipedal carnivores)
Birds are so called. The skeletal structure of most birds is very similar (although smaller) to that of many dinosaurs.
