Feathers are modified scales. Reptiles and their scales existed before birds.Is a feather a modified scale ? OR is a scale a modified feather ???Uh...okay. That's a safe bet.Birds evolved from dinosaurs but I'm sure there are genetic differences.But there are genetic differences. I know they are the same species. But it is, indeed, an example of evolution, in the strict sense.There is ZERO functional difference between them.
