Pterodactyls and other flying dinosaurs are one of the few types that are suited to living in tower blocks, in fact this is the best place for them, unless you happen to own a stretch of cliff.

Great thought must however be given to the feeding of these creatures as they will only eat live food, this is common to most carnivorous dinosaurs, so be warned. They will not settle down to a nice dish of scraps with your pet dog or cat, they will on the other hand greatly appreciate a nice dog or cat. 

On the subject of dogs and cats it must be said that pterodactyls are extremely good at clearing your neighbourhood of strays! (A stray is any animal out on its own or with an owner who is too small and feeble to fight off a swarm of hungry pterodactyls)

Pterodctyls are very fond of fish, so if you happen to live close (within about 60 miles) to a fish farm, or in an area where your neighbours have ornamental fish ponds, your pet can be very economical to feed. (Discounting law suits of course!) 

One small problem with keeping pterodactyls in a high rise block is that the windows must always be left open, this is because the pterodactyl, while having enough intelligence to remember which window is home, cannot tell if the window is open or not. This can lead to quite considerable repair bills if precautions are not taken! 

Fortunately your pet will be quite happy to hibernate during most of the winter months, in a box under the stairs or in the airing cupboard, but consideration must be given to the fact that it will wake up from time to time, very hungry, and will make straight for the nearest window, open or not!

It is not advisable to try and keep your pterodactyl in a cage, even if one can be found that is big enough, however, it is possible to keep them tethered to a perch like a parrot, it must be stressed though that good quality anchor chain should be used and the perch must be made from high  tensile steel which must then be bolted to a 16 foot RSJ which in turn must be securely fixed to the main building supports, failure to do this will result in the perch following the pterodactyl out of the nearest window (open or not).

Pterodactyls, it must be stressed, are not solitary creatures, they must have company of their own kind, in the wild they tend to live in groups of several thousand! 

Domestic pterodactyls though can be kept in groups of as few as 40 to 50 quite happily. If you are serious about keeping these creatures it might be a good idea to encourage your neighbours to keep a few as well to keep the numbers up. 

You cannot fool a pterodactyl into thinking it is in a colony by getting all the family to run around flapping their arms, this will only convince it that it is in the wrong place and it will head for the nearest window (open or not).
