No, they were just big birds that couldn't handle a mere asteroid impact. Pussies.

One thing that's not hard to find out, but that MSM and the Scientism Orthodoxy like to conveniently ignore, is that genes have changed far less over time than they used to predict, now that we can get whole genomes of current creatures, and sizable portions of long dead ones.

A great deal of adaptability is baked right in to animals. What seem like radical changes might only take a few tens of generations, rather than the millions of them that random changes plus natural selection would manage (as well, the more complex the animal, the fewer random genetic changes will stick, over time). Meanwhile, the totality of the genome is surprisingly stable over those millions of years, as most of the random changes that make real differences get culled out, over time.
