No, birds are not mammals. They do not bear live young, they lay eggs. They do not produce milk to feed their young. And they do not have hair, they have feathers. They metabolize nutrients differently, they have a different digestive tract, and they have lighter bones. They belong to the class Aves.

The feathers give birds the appearance of having fur, especially on the breast; On the wings you can clearly see it's feathers.

No, they are not. They may look like they have fur, but they have feathers. The feathers give birds the appearance of having fur.

And they do not suckle their young with milk.

They also have beaks, also called bills, rather than teeth.

All birds hatch from eggs. Only a few mammals, called monotremes, lay eggs.

They also have different bone structures.

Birds are more closely related to crocodiles and lizards than to mammals.
