How did birds evolve from reptiles?

It isn't known to most of the people but it is true that birds evolved from reptiles! But how on earth did this happen is the main question...Well, I'm always there for you....Let's explore about it in today's post. Before I start, did you know that the African Kori Bustard is the heaviest bird and it sometimes even has trouble to get off the ground...!

It all started some 200 million years ago, when some smaller dinosaurs made their homes among rocks on high cliff-sides. By doing this, they were protecting themselves from larger meat-eating dinosaurs that were too big and heavy to climb over loose rocks.

It was here that the pterodactyls (meaning 'wing finger') were found. They were flying reptiles, and their ability to fly helped them to escape from the clutches of an enemy, and to swoop down to grab food. During this period, many small reptiles were evolving characteristics, which separated them from the reptile group - their feathers.

The Archaeopteryx was the most familiar of these early reptilian avian. Other kinds such as the lchthyornis, had even more bird like characteristics, and were about the size of present-day gulls.
