Maniraptora is a clade of coelurosaurian dinosaurs which includes the birds and the non-avian dinosaurs that were more closely related to them than to Ornithomimus velox. It contains the major subgroups Avialae , Dromaeosauridae , Troodontidae , Oviraptorosauria , and Therizinosauria .

Oviraptorosaurs ("egg thief lizards") are a group of feathered maniraptoran dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period of what are now Asia and North America.They are distinct for their characteristically short, beaked, parrot-like skulls, with or without bony crests atop the head.
Coelurosauria is a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs that includes compsognathids, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and maniraptorans; Maniraptora includes birds, the only known dinosaur group alive today. [5] Most feathered dinosaurs discovered so far have been coelurosaurs.
Oviraptoridae is a group of bird-like, herbivorous and omnivorous maniraptoran dinosaurs.Oviraptorids are characterized by their toothless, parrot-like beaks and, in some cases, elaborate crests.
Chirostenotes has a confusing history of discovery and naming. The first fossils of Chirostenotes, a pair of hands, were in 1914 found by George Fryer Sternberg near Little Sandhill Creek in the Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation of Canada, which has yielded the most dinosaurs of any Canadian formation.

The phylogenetic placement of Alvarezsauroidea is still unclear. At first, they were interpreted as a sister group of Avialae (birds) or nested within the group Avialae [1] and considered to be flightless birds, [3] because they share many morphological characteristics with them, such as a loosely sutured skull, a keeled sternum, fused wrist elements, and a posteriorly directed pubis.
