Birds are a clade of dinosaurs ( a child group). In exactly the same way, dinosaurs are a clade of reptiles. So by extension, birds are a clade of reptiles.

You and I are also walking fish.

The ancestors of birds were reptiles. No matter how different they are from their ancestors, they’re still reptiles. They’re birds as well, but being different doesn’t mean they left the clade.

And here I thought the evolutionary split between feathers and armor plates was what separated modern birds and reptiles.
