Don't put points into its movement speed if you want to glide faster. It glides as fast you run, so putting points into your movement speed will increase how fast it will glide. Hope this saves you from wasting levels like me : )

Hit X (on Xbox controller) to stop and start glide.

Can be used as a parachute

can slowly collect sap from redwood trees if on wonder.

Oh archaeopteryx, you little chicken on steroids. This little guys is just a whole load of fun. They can carry you over vast distances, but also double as a, hey you seem to be falling, lemme help you out. However, getting down can be a bit of a problem. Otherwise... WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO OH YEAH IM RIDING THE SKY USING THE POWER OF A LITTLE CHICKEN THING

Don't jump of a bird at the world ceiling with one of these. It takes way longer than you expect to hit the ground.

It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.

Learned there half way up redwood trees have found 10 just sitting on trees

I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.

Bring bolas when searching for them. These guys are fast, bring a crossbow or better to tranq them.

You can also find these in the fuzzy trees in scorched earth by the small mountain

It's used as like a parachute but has more control than a parachute so if u fall off your bird it's very useful

Won't assault you however if you go near it it will flee. This is because it's skittish in temperment. If you wish to tame keep this in mind

Have someone air drop you on the mountain top. Mine as much metal/crystal as u can carry. Jump and float home.

When playing on the Center, be warned that they are very DIFFICULT to find because they hide in the bushes. If you aren't careful, you'll probably get lost and die by the Carnos and Terror Birds that lurk in the Redwoods.

Put them in wander near redwood trees and they will gather sap for you.

Usually found in and around the redwood forests, these little guys can be used as parachutes if you fall from a tame/ structure and save you dying. You will probably need a bola because although a passive creature it will fly to the nearest tree and latch on if you get too close

Just pick them up with an argie and toss em into a taming pen or enclosed area, easy tame.

These creatures happen to be one of the best ways to get around, if you know how to use them. Have an ally pick you up with an Argy whilst you are holding one, have them fly up a decent height, and have them let go. You will literally be able to do laps around the map's edges without touching the ground if you know what you're doing! (Some training is required, so that you don't, say, accidentally throw it mid-air.)

Many people do not know that you can stop it’s gliding with (square for PS4) (X for Xbox) not sure what it is for PC, but then by pressing the same button again you’ll glide downward faster!
