Subject: Do birds still have a perforate acetabulum?

Do modern birds still possess a perforate acetabulum? I wasn't able to
find this information anywhere on the net. If so, can this be used as
further evidence for the dinosaur-bird ancestry (which almost everyone
agrees on anyway, but still).

Thank you.
