They aren't related to Dinosaurs sadly, their Genus is thought to have evolved roughly 40 million years ago some 25 million years after the mass extinction of the Dinosaurs, though their distant ancestry does extend back 200 million years.

Birds are the only known relatives to the Dinosaurs alive today having evolved from a group of Dinosaurs known as Theropods, whilst there are many distant ancestors of animals that were alive in the time of the Dinosaurs, only Birds are considered to be modern descendants.
