If I recall from my ornithology class, the portion of a bird's brain that is 
related to intelligence is different from that of mammals.  This would 
considerably throw off the comparisons.  It would be better to compare 
bird/Troodon brains than mammal/Troodon brains anyway, seeing as how birds and 
Troodon are MUCH more closely related.
