It's so fucking fascinating to me that birds are dinosaurs. Birds aren't just "technically" dinosaurs. There's no catch to the statement whatsoever. They are dinosaurs.
We were all taught as kids that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, and that's just flat out wrong. Dinosaurs never went extinct, and that's just so fascinating to me for some reason. Dinosaurs still exist.
And birds are fucking weird so the whole thing just fits like a glove for me, no suspension of disbelief needed! Like it's not just merely technically accurate, they seem really alien to me.
And then a few of em like the Shoebill, Cassowary, etc. are just self-evidently prehistoric nightmare fuel. Literally.
You hurt her feelings :( 
Aww HELL nah. Helllllll noooooo, with the murder boots and everything. I'll keep my abdominal cavity's organs where they are thanks, dinobird won't be seeing me.
How old am I that I thought this was a "open the door get on the floor everbody do the dinosaur" meme?
The Story of Birds
as humanity writes the final chapter
Oh snap I was just reading my kids a book about a chicken who thinks they're a dinosaur!
Sorry to spoil the ending
LOL how dare you!
The chicken is right though
Yeah, that's what the kids book is about. Everyone doubt's the chicken! Then she summons her inner Dinosaur to scare off a weasel and the chickens embrace the inner dinosaur. Then the little girl who lives on the farm learns that chickens used to be dinosaurs. Its a goofy book. The afterward has more sciencey information about the link between birds and dinosaurs.
Its called Lena the Chicken (But Really a Dinosaur!) by Linda Bailey
chickens used to be dinosaurs
They, like all birds, still are, is the thing:)
