To be fair, dinosauria are subclade of archosauria, so dinosaurs are archosaurs.

Crocodilia, like birds, are archosaurs.

crocodiles also have 3.5 chamber heart, while the birds have 4.

In a war, the birds would side with the crocodiles. I'm calling it.

It’ll be those bloody emus at it again.

If they ever discover their cousin the ostrich we won't survive the next war
