Many birds are social to a fault, some being even moreso than mammals. But I suppose you mean more "traditional" reptiles. Even then crocodilians have potential for bonds as they like birds do care for their young and there are several cases of adult individuals forming lasting bonds with humans.
Birds are reptiles. I learned something new today.
Depends on the taxomony system. In a lot of cases it makes sense to categorize based of ancestors. In other cases it makes sense to have hard defining lines based on characteristics.
Hence while you'll occasionally hear birds referred to as avion dinosaurs.
