They'd probably avoid us, since we're just so much bigger than them. Even a pack would probably be wary of attacking a person as long as there's other stuff available. Predator don't take risks unless necessary.
It might try and eat a human, we're sort of the same shape as an ornithomimid or an oviraptorid so we wouldn't look too alien. We'd definitely smell strange to it since no mammal it lived around approached our size and shape.
Velociraptor is a bird-like lizard roughly the size of a coyote. It'd most likely behave like a coyote, or a particularly brave turkey vulture - or a very small emu. It'd probably be roughly as dangerous as a coyote, that is to say generally avoiding things larger than itself (human beings) unless pressured by the threat of danger or hunger, but in the event of an attack, a human would likely be able to break the animal's bones with as much ease as large poultry - the six-foot turkey joke from Jurassic Park is accurate to the real animal, as long as you are willing to tangle with an ornery Canadian Goose.
It would probably be as tame-able in a captive setting as any other wild animal like tigers and wolves and bears and cassowaries.
They hunted animals as long as we are tall and pretty much as heavy as an overweight man. Dromeosaurs in general punched well above their weight class with the 150lb Deinonychus hunting the 1 ton Tenotosaurus.
i like to think they were just flightless eagles that ran around
There's a theory that Dromies are actually birds that they are secondarily terrestrial like the Terror Birds or Emus.

>a human would likely be able to break the animal's bones with as much ease as large poultry
Certainly, but even if they only weight 15/20kg, you should be prepared to be badly scratched and/or bitten.

Large birds like Cranes will consider humans as mates if excessively socialized. So will small birds like parrots and chickens.
Especially if you don’t know where you shouldn’t pet a bird.
Having a female captive velociraptor decide it’s pair bonded to you (and all the negative consequences associated) would absolutely be a real risk if they somehow were brought back to life.
>all the negative consequences associated
What are these horrible consequences?
Why are there flight quills on a flightless animal
Well, aren't birds their closest living relatives? In which case the answer would probably be wary interest.
In any case, I'm going to try to make friends with it.
Probably weary/curious depending on mood, if you're looking weak they may get opportunistic and get the bad idea to make a headline with both of your names on It, idk how it could react to being pet but I can't help but think of them as eagle with your pic rel, if they had feathers they'd surely like them "preened" with our fingers, if they're scales only they probably would like a good scratch like crocs and lizards do
it would probavly react like other solitary, small, carnivorous (or perhaps somewhat omnivorous) animald would: hesitation, fear, or curiosity if it's in a good mood. It would probably react well if you get it to trust you first, like a wild cat or a ferret or similar, perhaps more dumb.

Maybe some species. I do know that Ostriches that live among their own species will deliberately seek out and do that moronic little mating dance for humans irregardless of their gender.
Birds are so fricked to be honest.

They might help them jump higher and run faster
The bite is not a great problem.Deinonychus at 80kg had the bite force of a 30kg wolf,so Velociraptor's would be even wimpier than your average dog.
don't need as much force when all your teeth are tiny razors.

Same as any modern predator. Might be afraid and cautious, may be territorial.
Qurupeco, Odogaron, Deviljho, Velociprey, great Macao
Weary most likely. Since to them humans would seem like bigger, more dangerous animals
What happens when you feed it and try to pet it
It's friendly!
It would most likely bite your hand
it would probavly react like other solitary, small, carnivorous (or perhaps somewhat omnivorous) animald would: hesitation, fear, or curiosity if it's in a good mood. It would probably react well if you get it to trust you first, like a wild cat or a ferret or similar, perhaps more dumb.
"Pet" it?
Friends!
they would see humans as potential mates
Zoophile plz leave

wrong, its only due to being sexually imprinted at a young age.

homie get that zoophilic shit out of here
I know this is some coomer bullshit but it might not be far from the truth. Falconers and parrot owners have their birds recognize them as mates.
