NOSTALGIA!
I loved Dinosaucers when I was a little kid. Loved it. Talking dinosaur people who could transform into "feral" dinosaurs. From space! What more could a 80's kid want. Show doesn't really hold up now, gosh was the humor corny.
Specifically liked the design of Teryx, the archeopteryx lady. Inspired me to make my own race of bird-people.
This drawing is old. From the early 2000's. Colored pencil and marker.

it has a small website, it may give you more of an idea of the show:

If you live in the US, amazon has the first season on video-on-demand

Well, the show was silly and corny, but Teryx was a bright spot: she was one of the ONLY well rounded female cartoon characters from the 80s. She was the _de facto_ second in command of the team, pretty smart most of the time, and a Renaissance woman to boot. (She could do everything from act to conduct medical research...and did).
And yep, despite her misgivings, she and Ichy did make a good pair.

Well, good point, I'd forgotten about her. But I still maintain that that sort of intelligent, assertive female character was the exception to the rule in the 80s.
In Teryx's case, the fact that she was avian sealed the deal. I may be one of the only damn Teryx fans out there -- present company also included -- that didn't just tack on mammal bits, draw up some porn and call it a day. Instead, I figured out how a birdmorph could work with avian anatomy and went from there. ArchTeryx was the end result, as your race of bird people was for you.
