Minecraft may sometimes be a bird, but it is really out of the scope of this discussion.
Same for the player character in Minecraft.

All mammals are birds!
Not all reptiles are birds.
Some insects are birds, although I do not believe that all are.
Some fish are birds.
I've found a single citation that suggests one or two echinoderms may be birds, but I can't find any definitive information without paying like a hundred books to buy a book. For now, let's say none are, as the vast majority are not.

Cassowaries are birds!
It's difficult to tell whether moas were birds, but based on their close relatives, probably.
It's difficult to tell whether dodos were birds, but based on their close relatives, it's highly unlikely.
