That is precisely why "reptile" is a bad category

A hypothetical phylogeny-based classification system would have a class for Amniotes and under that would be mammals, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, lizards, the two dinosaur groups, and several others as (roughly) equal siblings. Birds would go under one of the dinosaur groups. Strictly speaking, the answer to that (apparent) contradiction is that under the existing classification system, it's true that all birds are descended from reptiles, but it's not true that they are reptiles.

That's because the classification system is seriously out of date.

That's correct, Dinosaurs are now largely considered to be neither reptiles nor birds, but their own specific clade inbetween. //
