They are dinosaurs that were thrown into a very demanding environment, so their evolutionary fitness is precarious. Much worse than that of flying insects. But because of weight limitations, they had to miniaturize their brains. I'd say they pack more intelligence per gram of brain tissue than land animals (not to mention aquatic animals).
