> it would have to completely transform you into a completely different creature, simply due to the physics of flight

In OP's defence, they never mentioned flight. Maybe they just want a peacock train.

Ok, fair enough. I hadn’t considered that. In my mind, wings you can’t fly with are worse than no wings.

Tell that to am emu or ostrich, or don't, their claws aren't vestigial.

I would opt for smaller tweaks like an extra rhodopsin folding with longer features so I could see near (like tv remotes) ir. re-enable hibernation. Things some mammals already have would be good starts.
