Unfortunately, soft tissue like that in the penis doesn't fossilize, do
that is a hard question to answer about dinosaurs.
As for birds, click here and scroll down to the part about reproduction

I don't know how Dinosaurs reproduced, but here's some info on bird
reproduction:

I would imagine it was somewhat similar, but again I don't know.

What the fuck are "pee-pees?"

It is a technical term in semiotics.

Job 40: 15 "Look at the behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16 What strength he has in his loins,
what power in the muscles of his belly!
17 His tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like rods of iron. "

Don't they press their cloacas together? Oh, wait, I thought you said
"creationists."

I believe there's a scientific term for "pee-pee", which you might have
used. No, nobody knows. Some birds have penises, some don't. It's
ambiguous whether presence is primitive or derived, or both in different
groups. So we know nothing about other dinosaurs. Birds get along OK
(the ones that don't have penises), by putting their cloacas together.

The main problem with that is that it's wrong. Some birds have penises
longer than the rest of their bodies.
And I just learned today (coincidentally) that ostriches use theirs in
courtship displays. Sorry, no video.

Now there's a question. Why is penis flashing as a means of courtship rare?

I advise that you study the scene in Jurassic Park when then
velociraptor (utahraptor really) bangs its head against the kitchen
cabinet and we get a good look at its crotch as the wee girl crawls
away.

In birds, the "penis" is not homologous with the penis in mammals. The
pseudo-penis of Ostriches is an everted cloaca. I read in Wikipedia
that some birds have a true penis, but this seems unlikely given the
anatomical and metabolic differences between birds and mammals.

I doubt any bird penis is homologous to the mammalian penis. There may
be some homology to some reptile penises. Or not. However, you can't
evert a cloaca. You can evert a pouch in the cloacal wall if you like.
Define "true penis". Do true Scotsmen have them?

Once, in a technical talk with many p's and q's interspersed in the
logic, I asked about the "p-ness". The laughter indicated something I

Fortunately, in a written medium you can just use the

It certainly works, but Gawd!!! Fornicating birds are a more amusing
site than fornicating humans!
If birds ever made porno flicks (porno flickers?) no one would go see
them. The'd only say to themselve "Gah! Don't remind me! Breeding
season's only 6 weeks away!"

In this case it would be:
"Naw, it's aw in perfec' fettle".
There is a half-standard orthography to Scots.
In most Lowland dialects "nay" is a substitute for "no" where "no" is a
number.

If you try
<accent class="scottish">Nae...</accent>
you get more-Scottish-than-Scottish, which the standard defines as
being equivalent to Nac Mac Feegle.
