The general consensus is that they evolved from a group of small theropod dinosaurs.
Scientists believe birds evolved from dinosaurs because of several pieces of evidence, such as shared skeletal features, fossil records of "transitional" bird-like dinosaurs, and genetic similarities. These connections suggest that birds are the descendants of a group of small theropod dinosaurs.
birds are thought to be evolved from reptiles. there is evidence from an anciet organism called archaeopteryx which had bird and reptile features mixed
Birds evolved in the late Jurassic Period about 150 to 145 million years ago. This was about 90 to 95 million years before the asteroid impact that marked the K-T extinction event.Just a sub note that most scientist recognise that birds are a specialised branch of the therapod dinosaur. Birds are dinosaurs in the same way cats are mammals.
Theropod dinosaurs, based on fossil and genetic evidence. Theropods share skeletal and anatomical features with birds, suggesting a common evolutionary ancestor. This hypothesis is supported by discoveries of transitional fossils, such as Archaeopteryx, that exhibit characteristics of both dinosaurs and birds.
lizards No they believe they evolved from DINOSAURS. But we all know that's not true cause God created birds.
Dinosaurs evolved first and then some dinosaurs evolved into birds. So all birds are technically dinosaurs.

90% of modern birds
They did not. Mammals evolved independently of birds.
Birds are more like dinosaurs to the extent that many scientists say that they are dinosaurs.
No. Dinosaurs evolved from reptiles. Birds evolved from dinosaurs.
they didn't. they evolved into birds.
Yes
They evolved from dinosaurs.
Birds and mammals both evolved from reptiles.
