Archaeopteryx would be a great addition to an aviary. They look different from anything we already have in the game so far. Thank you.
Archaeopteryx, please ... we need a feathered flyer

Archaeopteryx is half the size of Compsognathus. It's the size of a jackdaw. We'd barely be able to see it.
I love Archaeopteryx, but it's just much, much too small for this type of game.

As you can see the biggest Specimen ( Wellhoferia grandis) was roughly as big as a raven with allmost double the length and wingspan as the smallest found specimen (Jurapteryx recurva). our compys are 70-80 cm long ( 120-140cm were the compy specimmen of adult individuls !).
So why should Archeopteryx be to small ? In the Aviarys it could be an cool attraction
!
For the game it could even a bit bigger than an W. grandis, because our JW Dimorphodon is MUUUUCHHH bigger than The biggest specimen which was found.
The JW Dimorphodon has a wingspan of at least 3m , while the "real" Dimorphodon has only a wingspan of 1,5m !

I can almost guarantee you that there is zero chance of feathers happening prior to Dominion's premiere. Given that the Dimorphodons lack pycnofibers and that Frontier continues to put in new naked pterosaurs, I wouldn't be surprised if they never bother with any feathered or furry creatures aside from the ones featured in Dominion, if even those. I really want to be proven wrong though. Best case scenario is feathered skins for all of the coelurosaurs and furry skins for all of the pterosaurs, but with each new pterosaur added, I find it harder to believe that this will happen as it'll require a much more massive update / paid DLC after Dominion premieres.
I didn't think the small size would be a problem since they'd be confined to aviaries. They'd be great in a small aviary.
