There is currently no evidence of grass in the Triassic Period.

Until recently it was thought that grass evolved around 55 million years ago but recent findings suggesting that grass became common 66-65 million years ago comes from the very end of the Cretaceous Period. Some dinosaur coprolites show material that appears to have been grass.

It is now believed that Grass's evolved sometime in the late Cretaceous and became widespread just prior to the K-T Extinction Event.

Primitive birds first evolved from dinosaurs that were similar to Archaeopteryx during the Mesozoic. By the end of the Mesozoic, there were somewhat modern birds, as well as toothed birds, and the strange seabirds called Hesperornithiformes which could not walk or fly, but spent their entire lives in the sea. Many of the early birds we know of lived by eating fish and other small sea creatures.
