If they drowned in the flood why didn't all the other birds drown as well?

Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs. They are pterosaurs, a family of archosaur, related to dinosaurs, but not the same thing.
At the time of the Creteceous/Tertiary event, there was only one remaining pterosaur, a giant flyer named Quetzlcoatlus the size of a plane. Since the KT event disproportionately affected large animals and niche animals, Quetlzcoatlus was doomed.
A number of birds went extinct as well - all Enantiornithine and Hesperornithiformes were killed off. Only a few paleognathus and neognathus birds survived - passeriformes, ostrich ancestors, shorebirds, and parrots ... and they would go on to repopulate the air and land.

Moses took birds on the Ark
"Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." Genesis 7:3
It rained for 40 days and 40 nights but the water continued to flood the earth for one hundred and fifty days
"And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days." Genesis 7:24
Since the birds would not have a place to land or anything to eat they would have died during that period. In fact the Bible states just that..
"And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark." Genesis 7:23

Pterodactyls are classified as a type of Pterosaur. Pterosaurs are sometimes referred to in the popular media as dinosaurs, but this is incorrect. The term "dinosaur" is properly restricted to a certain group of terrestrial reptiles with a unique upright stance (superorder Dinosauria), and therefore excludes the pterosaurs, as well as the various groups of extinct aquatic reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs.
Edit: Moses...ark...what the...? (see below)

A large majority of paleontologists agree that the dinosaurs were killed off 65 million years ago by the impact of an asteroid six miles in diameter. It struck in the ocean just off the tip of the Yucutan Peninsula creating what is now called Chicxulub Crater.

They were on the other boat. But those people weren't as nice as Noah. They got hungry and ate the Pterodactyls. Then the Pterodactyls became extinct. :(
