Hesperornis

To tame a Hesperornis, you must kill a fish, and drag the fish's corpse to the Hesperornis to feed it. The fish's size plays a major factor in how many fish will be required (a 1.0x fish appears to fill up the taming bar twice as much as a 0.5x fish). Level of fish does not appear to impact taming. The Sabertooth Salmon is by far the most effective fish, equivalent of about 4 Coels of the same size, while the Piranha is equivalent to about 2.4 Coels.

Figured out a very streamlined way to get golden goose eggs!
First, tame yourself a female goose friend. You do this by dragging fish to feed, so I'd recommend taking an icthyornis (seagull) before attempting to tame even a minimum level, since their golden fish buff is absolutely needed.
Once she's tamed, find a pond with a lot of fish in it; try to make sure it's safe for your goose! Throw her into the water and set her to wander and aggressive. Then stand back and let her do her work.
Once your hesperornis starts to appear passive, even in the presence of coel, she's ready! Pick her up on your shoulder and throw her on shore, and she'll lay an egg and return to the water on her own. This is usually a regular egg, but don't worry, since these can be refined into oil in your cooking pot!
Once you do get a golden egg, make sure you're ready to use it (have Laz Chowder premade, if you're making kibble!) cause these things spoil and they spoil FAST.
I had just tamed a saber and I had my pt with me I saw one of these guys I didn’t know they attacked you…it attacked me and my saber killed it:(…by the way up this if they are hard to find
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
They deal hundred millions of damages to fish... but only does 1 damage to other creatures
ok
The most frustrating thing about taming these guys is not only do they take a lot of fish but the same button to feed them is the same button to drop the fish(i don’t know if it’s different in pc or ps4)and it’s constantly swinging around your face making it annoying because you’re constantly dropping it. Either make it so the controls to feed them are different then dropping it or make ur so it’s not constantly in ur face.
How To Tame:
Use ichtyornis(seagull) to catch fish and bring it to them (preferebly get saber salmon) keep feeding them till tamed.
Easily Get Golden Eggs:
bring your hesperornis to the hidden lake really safe spot full of fish the most perfect one on island and set it to aggressive and enable wandering the hesperornis will eat fish till it he is done you can notice it by seeing it not swimming quickly and runnig around so pick it up and throw it on the ground it should lay a golden egg after 3 normal eggs
i recommend using the egg to make extraordinary kibble and use them to tame yutyrannuses so you can get imprinted ones for bosses and permanent extraordinary kibble
Also put all of hesperornis upgrade points to health
