Confusciusornis
Named after Chinesesaint to honour thisstyle
famous dinobirds, with claws on wings
long tail feathers on their pygostyle
perched on trees and flew in style !
must have been very beautiful indeed
but of what colour &complexion they were
and how they looked like nobody is wise .
7. Transitionalforms
These ornithiforms of crowsize or pigeon like
flying in Cretaceous times in Chinese sky
more advanced than Archaeopteryx,
were without teeth in their beaks
were indeed like modern birds
in more ways than one bhai
exhibited transitional features
between birds and reptiles .

Jianian hua long tengi
Asymmetricfeatherson the tip of our bony tail
lookinglikefronds,we can only showoff
for they are not useful for flyingand that is not all
with teeth in the beak we are Troodontids
lookinglikebirdsbut are not birdsindeed..
11. Transitionalforms
Eoalulavis
It is our Alula which gives us our name
but it is not there for only name sake
It really helps us in flying and so much
that, we are known for our flying skills & style
we are actually not Aves but paraves
reptiles of Enantornithes type.
13. Transitionalforms
Caudipteryx
We have a grand body - sturdy and strong
Our legs are pretty long
and our neck is also very long
but with fan like fathers on a small tail
alas ! we can not fly
we can ,however ,run very fast really
you can bet on this bhai
15. Transitionalforms

Small ‘birds’ with teeth in our beaks
of small tail with feathers ,on pygostyle tips
of small wings with claws on ends
we were paraves of middle spain
bird like enantiornethes- not aves.
