Not just closer, they ARE dinosaurs. The entire class of Aves (Birds) is part of the clade Dinosauria.

Didn't they reverse the genes on one, and it grew a tail and teeth and stuff?

I've never heard of that.

If beaks evolved from teethed ancestors, that might be plausible. Beaks are quite old though. You can find them on Parasaurolophus or Psittacosaurus.

Pretty sure birds already have tails :P
