Dex, he wasn't trying to scare the bird.

Pay attention to the video... he was trying to attract a mate.

If it weren't for the mass extinction of dinosaurs, they would be well ahead of us in terms of technology. I mean, they appeared millions of years before us! We were just little "SCRATCH" from ice age type animals and they had complicated social structures!! We were "VERY" lucky they became extinct, it could have been VERY different today!!!
From Evolutionary terms (not talking to the anti-evolutionary Americans and their cults) Dinosaurs were the pinnacle of the ultimate earth-bound race!!

Wonder if the aliens came to spy on them??!!!!
