Tips & Strategies
When you see this creature, this thing sometimes glitches snd goes in circles around dead fish it kills while its wild. So wait for it to finish circling then feed.
These guys are uncommon but if you go down to the bottem left of the island by the note run and red ob there are alot
Can't be picked up by anything while they are wild. They do aggro on you, and can walk through door frames, so you can kite them to a taming pen then use an itchy to bring those succulent salmon to you. Tamed a 140 last night in about 20 minutes.
I've tamed giga's rex's and more,yet this was the most frustrating thing i've ever tamed a level three took half an hour and twenty fish on 3x taming never again...never...
I saw a whole flock and they killed my baby jerboa (R.I.P fluffy😭)

Could just be a coincidence but I had a MUCH easier time feeding this guy fish while he was swimming in the water than on land. It took a lot of back and forth but he wasn’t constantly pecking me in the face and the dead fish body wasn’t jumping in the way so that feed fish/release body wasn’t interchanging every time. I could barely approach these dudes on land because everything was working against me. I have two parasaur tames stationed parallel the water crossings with their turrets enabled so they can warn me if something nasty heads my way while I’m distracted underwater. Hopefully this helps others out!
One of the worst things you need to tame for kibble, but this is how to do it:
1. Craft a wooden cage
2. Aggro it onto land
3. Place cage on top of it
4. Spend an hour killing fish and dragging them to it, feeding it through the bars carefully or you’ll open the cage and let it out.
5. You let it out, didn’t you? Pick the cage up and trap it again.
6. Watch out for that ichth- It stoke your fish... and half the stuff in your inventory. Kill it.
7. Cuss in frustration at every piranha on the Ark trying to eat you, then feed them to it too.
8. Finally finish taming the dumb bird - now just remember to keep feeding it fish forever.
Oh and watch out for Argentavis in the area, they like corpses and they don’t like you even if you’re carrying the corpse. They’ll steal your fish and then try to kill you.
To harvest organic polymer at a maximum use a club
Put it in a taming box these birds are an easy kill for predators
I picked it up with a grappling hook, then jumped on my wyvern & flew it to a safer place to tame with lots of salmon. I also threw a tent over it to stop it from wandering off. Best way to tame. So much easier.
Needed some hide and thought this was a dodo and was surprised when it Agrod on me
To guy that said these are in mobile, actually what you saw was a pelagornis, a seagull that can be found sitting ON the water
On the islands hidden lake there’s always a few of them. Not only are their eggs good food but every now and then they’ll give you a golden egg. Perfect for leveling if you plant a base at hidden lake. Not to mention they keep that lake clear of piranhas for you! Don’t need to tame just grab the eggs
Hesperornis will attack if you attack it
