It is the last choice because their similar bone structures suggest they once had a common ancestor, which is why they are all mammals.
The evaluation of their DNA and short tandem repeats will let them know if the birds are related or not. The genetic linkage will provide information about their common ancestry as well as if they belong to the same species, or are closely related species.
