Are birds more closely related to mammals or to reptiles

Zepler [3.9K]

Mammals. I am no scientist, but I think that they are closer to mammals due to the fact that they are warm-blooded, and they raise their young. Reptiles are cold blooded and usually leave their offspring to fend for themselves.
