Hominid is relating to /member of a family of erect ,bipedal primate mammals that includes humans , chimpanzee(greater apes),gorilla and orangutan

Arboreal apes ---tree-living; referring to animals that are adapted to life in the trees.Not hominid

Bipedal means -- stand upright without supporting their body weight by their arms, and some, especially the apes.Common chimpanzees, bonobos, gibbons and baboons exhibit forms of bipedalism.Therefore they are hominid .

Feathered ape -- Birds are like 'feathered apes'( parrots and corvids are example of feathered ape) .Are not hominid
