      Yeah… I think they are.
      Like other birds, turtles, snakes, etc.

      Actually quite a tricky question it turns out. I’m not an expert but there appears to be some debate on whether they were cold-blooded or hot-blooded, or a mix of both. We know that birds are dinosaurs, and if dinosaurs are reptiles then that would mean that birds are reptiles, which just sounds silly.
