Once more:
- most birds did die out;
- likewise, lots of mammals died out;
- while lizards were heavily culled and turtles didn't exactly sail through
unscathed, many of them survived, and crocodiles fared even better, so that
alone can't be it;
- most if not all small theropods of the time, not just birds, had feathers.
