Explanation:
Birds are placed in their own vertebrate class, Aves.

The other classes refer to different groups: Mammalia are animals with hair and mammary glands; Reptilia includes reptiles with scaly skin and generally ectothermic metabolism; Amphibia comprises frogs and salamanders with moist skin and a life cycle that includes metamorphosis.
