And when you eat dino nuggets you’re really eating dino nuggets.
My understanding is that this headline has been pretty much accepted as official by biologists for some time now, to the point where “non-avian dinosaurs” has become a common term for the extinct animals. So it’s totally correct to say things like “I’m just going to the park to feed the dinosaurs”

Strangely enough, we seem to forget the Terror Birds were a thing.
Just look at a chicken. They are just waiting for an opportunity to bring those recessive genes back.
Cassowaries still exist.
That’s a dinosaur. It even has a funny bone ridge like half of the herbivorous classic kids favorites.
I’ll gladly admit cassowaries are 1) awsome 2) scary 3) capable and willing to kill a human but they are not on the same category birds of terror were.
Yes, cassowaries are modern dinossaurs, as in birds, but not birds of terror.
p.s
After writting and reading what I wrote, I realized I played myself.
Cassowaries are in fact birds of terror; I’d probably end dead and soiled if I ever crossed paths with one, and nothing says things would happen in that exact order.
But cassowaries are definitely not Terror Birds.
We do?
Most people do.

Fish are still alive. Today, we call them dinosaurs.
