Yes
Theropod dinosaurs for one.
Some dinosaurs, like theropods, had a hip structure that was more bird-like than mammal-like, with a pubis bone that pointed backwards like in birds. This adaptation allowed for more efficient bipedal movement and likely contributed to their agility and speed.

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.

The pentadactyl limb structure, found in mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, is inherited from a common ancestor. Despite modifications for different functions, such as wings in birds and flippers in whales, the underlying bone structure remains similar.
A structure with similar shape but a different use
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.
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
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)
