The bird, watch a crow when its walking on the ground and use your imagination, the crows head and neck go in and out as it walks to maintain its balance, but T-Rex's tail was what kept it balanced when it leaned forward.

Although the chicken is related, it is not the closest living relative to the T-Rex. All birds are descendants of the 'bird-hipped' dinosaurs that first came about in the Mesozoic dinosaur era. These dinosaurs were much more agile and walked on two legs. The shape of the pelvis and hips meant their legs were underneath them, instead of to the side, meaning they became quicker and more agile. It also meant that running took up less energy, and hunting was more accurate, because only the legs were required to move, not the whole body, meaning it was easier to keep their eyes on the prey. To see what I mean, compare the 'lizard-hipped' crocodile's movement when sprinting on land to an ostrich's movement whilst running. Hope this helps!

The nearest living relative of T. rex is the crocodile, which shows some parental care care. Like the crocodile, T rex laid eggs, probably in a hole in the ground dug out with its hind feet. Unlike the crocodile, however , it is doubtful that it showed any parental care.

Any raptor (bird) is considered to be the closest living link to theropod dinosaurs like T Rex, there isn't a specific bird that is considered closer to true dinosaurs. Doesn't matter whether the bird eats meat or not.

Birds are some of the closest relatives of dinosaurs.
