The Parrot would be the direct ancestor of the Dinosaur. The therapod line is believed to be the line that turned into our modern day birds. There are many similarities between therapods and our modern birds.
There is some debate on this theory still but there are many who believe that the birds are direct descendants of the dinosaurs
