Turning a Bird back into a Dinosaur

This started with a photograph I shot of a Pacific Coast Pelican when I was kayaking in in Redondo beach a few years ago.

When it came to me drawing the bird, I started out representing it as it is. But the urge to add teeth became too much for me. Then I just had to give it raptor claws and some feathered arms. Oh and the tail.

The nearest living Dinosaur like bird is probably the Shoebill.

Does this look like a feasible dinosaur? Let me know what you think in the comments.
