The genus Microraptor is classified within the Dromaeosauridae. It was first found in the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation in Liaoning, China. It has played a central role in the debate over the supposed evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds and the supposed "feathered" dinosaurs. This genus has been considered a feathered dinosaur by most secular scientists and some creation scientists. Microraptor has been used to support the hypothesis that birds evolved from dinosaurs and that dinosaurs had feathers. This paper examines the anatomical skull features of the first three described Microraptor species (Microraptor zhaoianus, Microraptor gui, and Microraptor hanqingi) to understand whether they align more closely with bird or dinosaur characteristics. This analysis is performed through a literature review of the first original publications of the first three species of Microraptor. The original descriptions of the bone structures in the publications were compared to determine whether they follow a dinosaurian or bird-like pattern. That was done by comparing the secular literature on extinct birds and dinosaurs. The findings indicate that the Microraptor's skull exhibits numerous characteristics that are also shared with extinct birds. This study raises questions about the interpretation of Microraptor as a feathered dinosaur and instead supports its classification as an extinct bird. The result of this analysis can contribute to the ongoing debate about whether those anatomical structures support a dinosaurian or a bird classification.
