The most famous winged creatures of the dinosaur time were the pterosaurs, an order of flying reptiles often mistakenly called dinosaurs.

However, the dinosaurs world was also inhabited by flying insects, which evolved much earlier, and later, the first birds, which branched off from the dinosaurs.

Was the Pterodactyl a bird?

No dinosaurs had wings. You are thinking of Pterosaurs, the most famous being Pterodactylus and Pteranodon.Edit: '''No dinosaurs had wings.''' That statement is wrong.There are around 10,000 species of dinosaur alive today with wings, we call them birds. There are many fossils of maniraptorian dinosaurs that show wings.The basal bird Archeopteryx, the dromeosaur Microraptor and the troodontid Anchiornis are some examples.The famous Velociraptor had quill knobs on its ulna, which show that it too had ''wings''.Wings in dinosaurs are only found in the theropod group, maniraptora.If your thinking of pterosaurs like Pterodactylus and Pteranodon then those are not considered dinosaurs.
