ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Fjordhawk
Based on Dododex's testing of dozens of creatures, it generally prefers larger creatures such as the Brontosaurus, Diplodocus, or Parcer (all three were equal), however the size is not always correlated to how effective the creature is. The Ovis is the most effective creature to feed it. The Phiomia tames it very well in comparison to other easy-to-hunt dinos (even outperforming the Allosaurus and the Therizinosaurus).
Note that the level of the creature it eats does not matter (a level 1 will increase the taming bar just as much as a level 150).

Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
When they're eating corpses make sure to un-mount your tame (if you're on one) to actually make the hawks taming progress go up, because when on a mount their progress bar doesn't go up.
Who wishes this thing to be easier to tame?
In order to tame you have to let it follow you while you kill creatures. It will then proceed to eat the corpse, the taming bar raises with each bite it takes. Depending on what you kill determines how fast the taming bar rises. Phiomas worked well because it takes several bites. Keep your eye on it so it doesn't fly off and be careful not let it take damage or you will have to start over again.
Rock elementals no longer work
