There is no data to determine what are dogs, only to determine what are birds. (The correct format to see if dogs are birds would be 'Are dogs birds', which I will answer below:)

Not all dogs are birds.

Frogs are not birds.

Birds are not things which eat fish.

Point of clarification: Italicized answers of the form 'Birds are not things which...' note failed attempts to correctly explain what ARE birds. Some birds may nevertheless do/have/[verb] these things.

Lions are birds!

Blue-tongued skinks are not birds.
