Reptiles include birds.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that reptiles include birds?

Unclear. One reference notes that birds and reptiles are grouped together under Sauropsida, and another notes a proposed monophyletic group including birds, though traditional Reptilia excludes birds. Neither directly states that birds are reptiles in the modern cladistic sense.
