And yet some of them had wings 
I realize that taxonomy is more complicated than it appears, but still.

Yes, dear sister. Human prescribed taxonomy is rather complicated. I prefer to go by God's taxonomy of kinds. It's much simpler and makes more sense. But I still think, under those definitions, dinosaurs and crocodiles/alligators/lizards would be in separate categories.
Wings? Dinosaurs gave rise to dragon legends, but wings were an imaginative addition, not a reality.

It's not really something I'm planning to argue, because I'm no expert on the matter. But the more I do know about it, the less I'm convinced that the various animals (extinct and otherwise) fit into all the boxes that humans have constructed for them.

As far as when dinosaurs where on the Earth I'm an Old-Earth creationist so I couldnt give you an exact time.
Ha! You're right; apparently it's a bird again. It was reclassified as a dinosaur in 2011 and I didn't realize they had decided to rebird it since then. Though some places still list it as a dinosaur.
Doesn't that kind of make my point about taxonomy not being as cut-and-dried as some would have us think?

This puzzled me for years until I came across an apocryphal book called Jubilees, which was written in the time between the testaments. In chapter four it says that before the flood creation was corrupted by fallen Angels. They not only produced the Giants but corrupted animals as well by mixing and corrupting different species. I believe Dinosaurs are freaks and that is why God destroyed everything instead of just wiping out people. If you take a look at Dinosaurs with this in mind you can see that they are not 'normal' Also think of Genetics and cloning. In the Bible you see mentions of Giants after the flood. This is because the corrupted Genes were passed on through one of the wives of Noahs Sons.
