Sinornithoides
Sinornithoides was a tiny, bird-like dinosaur that lived about 113 million years ago. It was probably a fast hunter of small prey like insects. One fossil was found curled up like a sleeping bird, with its snout tucked under its arm.12

Prettige feite
Sinornithoides had a sickle claw on its second toe, like other troodontids, which it may have used to grip prey.1
The fossil was preserved in a sleeping pose, with its snuck under one hand, just like a modern bird resting.1
Its skull was long and pointed, but the head was short compared to its body length.1
The teeth on the front of its upper jaw had no serrations, but the back teeth had small serrations only on one edge.1
Sinornithoides had a furcula (wishbone) and a basket of fifteen pairs of belly ribs called gastralia.1
Troodontids like Sinornithoides had some of the highest brain-to-body sizes among non-bird dinosaurs, meaning they were probably smart.1

?How big was Sinornithoides?
About 1 metre long, and weighed around 2.5 kilograms. That is about the size of a large chicken.13

?Was Sinornithoides a dinosaur?
Yes, it was a small, bird-like theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period.1

The sources do not mention feathers directly, but as a troodontid closely related to birds, it likely had feathers. Many troodontid fossils show evidence of feathers.1
