ok, made the mistake of saying that, i meant other extinct birds had teeth too, that still dosent change the point that the this bird was completely bird, had a bird brain, bird feet, bird wings, bird lung, bird breastbone made for flying, and had absolutely no traits other than a distinct bird.....

As I already posted, Archeopteryx had a reptile-like, not a bird-like keeled sternum. You do know the sternum is the breast bone, I hope? The lungs are controversial, since we do not have fossilized tissue. The feet bones are unfused, like reptiles, not birds. The metacarpals in the wing are free not fused, like reptiles, not birds.
