Your statement seems to be a bit of a "dinosaur." Outdated.

ETA: Quite a few birds are giving chimps a run for their money.
Doesn't current theory state that birds are descended from the dinosaurs? If so, then they may yet evolve a civilization. I've read a few articles and one book on bird intelligence and, although controversial, some parrots and crows/ravens seem to demonstrate fairly high intelligence.
