So that's got rid of the "turkeys are a subset of dinosaurs" argument.

Cladistics disagrees with you: Turkey's are birds. All members of the class Aves belong to the clade Theropoda. Theropoda is a subset of the clade Saurischia, which is a subset of the clade Dinosauria, the clade that includes all dinosaurs.

So yes, Turkery's are dinosaurs. All birds are considered to be dinosaurs.

Which means, taxonomically, they are reptiles.

So... By telling me that a lobster is not a bug, you are telling me that turkeys are cold blooded.
