Similarly to real life, these greedy douchebags will try to steal your sandwiches, however if you are drunk enough, you can stay up into the late hours of the evening and have deep insightful conversations with these feathered friends as they simply stare at you in confusion and bark in bird language. In return they will bring you magical fish as a reward.

Just tamed one of these myself, after reading the story of Greg I decided there was only one name suitable for this creature. I love My Greg so much, he is amazing. Shortly after I tamed him I was out gathering with him perched on my shoulder when I was attacked by a group of compys, Greg instantly Launched himself off my shoulder and flew into the air with on in his Jaws while my raptor killed the other 2. I've never enjoyed watching something that has attacked me die so much.... Until a couple minutes later. A Dilo ran up and before it could even blind me Greg swooped in and grabbed him up in his Jaws flew into the air and tore him to shreds. 10/10 would tame a whole battalion of Greg's. Also they are great for catching fish and taming otters.

I had the pleasure of befriending one of these animals. Despite popular opinion, I find ichthyornis birds to be quite charming and graceful. So much that I found myself taming one. After he woke up, I saw a fire in Greg. From then on, we would be best friends. He’d come with me everywhere. From simple resource gathering to Bronto taming, Greg would be there supporting me from my shoulder. When I was too tired to go fishing or hunting, Greg was there to do it for me. He even makes the effort to make sure I get the best meat out of it. He is a quick learner, he went from from level 20 to level 40 in a day. Anywhere I go, he comes. Anything I need, he makes it his top priority. To this day, Greg continues to be my best friend and sometimes we just hang out on the beach or go fishing even when the resources aren’t needed. I thank Greg for his time with me and his endless favors that he has completed for me. Thank you, Greg.

The first tip that... was beautiful I would love to know how Greg is doing

When you think nothing could be worse, and there you have it, a flying pegomastax!!

These annoying flyers can be used to aid in taming otters. Just set the hunt and retrieve feature on it, make it attack a fish, and as it comes back to you grab the fish and walk up to the otter and press the button to tame. Otters are quick tames, and provide insulation from both the heat and cold which directly depends on their melee stat. They can also hold multiple artifacts in their inventory. Can be found in shallow rivers.

To tame, just take a crossbow and some tranq arrows, shoot it, and give it some meat. After being tamed, it will sit on you shoulder. If you ever need fish, double tap Y and whistle attack a fish. It will bring you that fish with +100% quality than if you had killed it with a spear, and faster than fishing with a rod. Pesky when wild, but useful when tamed.

These little $&*@$ steal eggs and they go to town on them

Bola it, tranq it, and feed it fish. I advise having a Baryonyx or another dino that gathers fish well with you.

When going to tame one, unequip everything except your armor and put it in a box or tame you leave at your base (far away), then put only food, water, a set of bola and your weapon in your hotbar. Thanks to the new kibble system, you can bring and use regular kibble. Split all trank darts, narcs, etc into singles in your inventory (your weapon won’t care if the ammo is in singles), but it makes it harder for it to steal and eat your stuff. Wait until one is on the ground. Bola it, trank it out with darts. Starve tame it in case it’s friends come calling. When it’s hungry, feed it the kibble. Done!
