Evolution is generally a gradual process, such that it is generally difficult to classify transition species one way or the other. Would you say birds are reptiles? Birds are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and reptiles share a common ancestor, probably dating to some time in the early Triassic. That would be around 250 million years ago.

Did underwater dinosaurs evolve into crocodiles?
what an interesting topic! Birds and reptiles are the living descendantsof the dinosaurs that survived the meteorite-triggered mass extinction that killed off most of the species living 66 million years ago. And of all reptiles, crocodiles are the most closely related to birds.
Did birds evolve from lizards?

Did dinosaurs evolve from reptiles?
Yes, dinosaurs did evolve from reptiles. They are part of a group called archosaurs, which also includes modern birds and crocodiles. Dinosaurs evolved from a group of reptiles called archosauriforms during the Triassic period.
Did modern reptiles evolve from dinosaurs?
No, although modern reptiles and dinosaurs do share common ancestors that lived in the distant past (likely the Carboniferous epoch). Birds, however, evolved from dinosaurs in the Jurassic epoch.
Why did birds evolve after reptiles?
