Birds can be called amniotes, tetrapods, vertebrates, and chordates, depending on the context.
Some people even call them dinosaurs, avian dinosaurs, reptiles, sauropsids, avian theropods, paravians, and avialans.
But for classification, birds are not reptiles nor mammals, it is just classified as a bird.
