A thought occured to me, if you (or anybody else) plan on getting that to sentience, how will it manipulate things? depending on the type of feet, you may or may not be able to use them while walking around. sure they can use them when sitting on the ground, but when standing they'll have to stand on one leg and use one foot to manipulate. I'm sure you can put something on the tail like WW did to his willosaur, but there are still physical limitations that could give the computer a hard time in figuring out a way to manipulate things.

Thats just if they only have two legs and no front limbs, if they do have front limbs, then ok.

i think so too but what if you give them to much brain when ther  not fully evolved and they go tribal.. you screwed then

Why not just make birds in the first place?
