While the Archaeopteryx is sitting on yoyr shoulder, you CAN'T target anything to make your tames attack. Also wasn't able to use the Awesome Spyglass (the mod that tells you dinos stats).
It seems like it's legs are blocking your vision. A shame, I hope this gets fixed soon. With this bug it's currently useless.

I hope these guys get a rework soon, the landing takes forever and you can't use anything else while using them, however if you need sap ASAP tame one, set on wander, and put it next to a tree in the Redwoods, they'll instantly climb up and overtime collect a good amount of it. If either you have the same opinion or find this helpful (or both), please up.
Oh archaeopteryx, you little chicken on steroids. This little guys is just a whole load of fun. They can carry you over vast distances, but also double as a, hey you seem to be falling, lemme help you out. However, getting down can be a bit of a problem. Otherwise... WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO OH YEAH IM RIDING THE SKY USING THE POWER OF A LITTLE CHICKEN THING
