If I may, -we- gave that bird it's "cute and cuddliness", it's biological inheritance did not. Every chicken still thinks it's a T Rex. IDK if the contention is mistaken, only that if it is, the cute and cuddliness of birds probably isn't a good counter example.
You could go the other way with it, though, and maintain that whatever is cute and cuddly about birds and i part of their biological inheritence would have been cute and cuddly about dinosaurs as well. I'm sure that, if they were around today..we'd keep the brightly feathered and manageable ones. Mostly because we do. Even though people don;t generally keep living raptors (despite being cute) or buzzards (despite being cuddly, no shit..buzzards like to nuzzle) as pets.
