While the theory has always been that birds descended from dinosaurs, they were a specific group of dinosaurs, the Theropods. Modern cladistics further groups the Tyrannosauridae as descended from theropods through the Tetanurae and the Coelurosauria. Birds are descended from the Coelurosauria through the Maniraptora and Avialae. Some maniraptors with which you may be familiar are the velociraptor and the compsognathus, depicted in the Jurassic Park movies.
