Ha, great answer! Kiwis are definitely strange birbs, they sort of feel more ancient than your regular average tiny dinosaurs

Most dinosaurs did go extinct! Now there's only the avialan "branch" left which includes all modern birds, and their extinct ancestors like eg. the Archaeopteryx

Head butting problems to make them go away since 85.8 Mya

Right? And what's really wild is that birds are literally dinosaurs. Not just descended from dinosaurs, but classified as feathered theropods and the only known living dinosaurs
