These are not the conditions I am looking for, however.

American crocodiles are birds.
Saltwater crocodiles are birds.
It can be debatable whether New Guinea crocodiles are birds, but I will say no, they are not.

Every other crocodile species are not birds.

Birds are not immortal space entities.
