Are birds dinos?

Yes they are. Birds first originated in the Jurassic period around 150 million years ago, in the form of archeopteryx. Archeopteryx was regarded as the first link from Dinosaurs to Birds, however it was still not regarded as a 'true' bird but a dinosaur that would feature characteristics that would be found in their descendents the birds. Features found in Archeopteryx include feathers (Was actually common among its relatives the raptors) long enough that it could glide. These gliding wings would eventually developed into flying wings in the later future.

Why did the archaeopteryx die?

Archeopteryx lithographica was the earliest known bird that lived in what is now Germany nearly 160 million years ago. Since fossils of it have only been found in the Solnhofen limestones of Germany, dating from about the same age, it is hard to say exactly how long the species itself lasted: we cannot claim to know how long Archeopteryx existed before those fossils, likewise after; hence, the reasons for its extinction are unknown. However, it probably was the same reason that many other species go extinct: simple outcompetition over time.
