1) "bird-like dinosaur" is the meaning of the expression as a construct.

2) "ornithischian" is 鸟臀目 according to Wp and NC (E-C dict).
The term 似鸟恐龙 doesn't appear in the zh Wp article on ornithischians.

3) "ornithischian" means "dinosaur with a bird-like hip", not "bird-like dinosaur" (似鸟恐龙).

4) No other dict seems to have an entry for 似鸟恐龙.

5) In short, I think this is another case where Brandolini's law applies.
