A bird is not a dinosaur. I think where you have been mislead is that birds of prey are called raptors, and there is a type of dinosaur also called a raptor. Birds are descended from some types of dinosaurs; e.g. the Archeopteryx, but they are definitely not dinosaurs themselves. Calling a bird a dinosaur is like calling a person a monkey.

He was illustrating a point that it is stupid to call humans monkeys.

You said, "The only dinosaur that is living today is the bird", which is a very bad way to say 'birds are related to dinosaurs'. Maybe you should proofread your posts, or if you don't feel that you can accurately convey the information that you want, just don't post at all.

Fossils don't really have any dinosaur DNA. They're like, the imprint of the imprint that their bones made in the earth.

Some of the fossils are dinosaurs' shit... and that may contain some tiny speck of DNA. Not necessarily the same dinosaurs but of the ones' it ate.
