I don't have one in that format, but it would be relatively simple (if
laborious) to compile one from The Dinosauricon, starting here:
http://dinosauricon.com/taxa/avialae.html

Note that the phylogeny here:
http://dino.lm.com/_temp/nodes.php
...is more up-to-date, and includes all Mesozoic birds, including neornitheans.
(Taxa and specimens marked with asterisks are extinct, although not necessarily 
Mesozoic.)
