These are probably the best flier for taming for one reason: You can shoot while flying. And unlike tapejara, you do it from the drivers seat.
Juice stamina to be sure you can stay in the air, keep yourself hovering out of reach and tranq away. If it runs, you can chase it down. Smaller animals can be carried (but not as much as argy can). You could probably chase down most fleeing fliers too. Great for me as I cannot seem to get traps to work.
This is without thinking about the elixir which will save you a ton of time on taming.

This is one of the best tames in all of ark! It is the only flyer that can go in caves it has night vision it can go invisible and it has echolocation. It can get blood packs very easily. And it is the only way to craft sanguine elixer which can give an automatic 30% to either taming or imprinting ( note it can only be used once per imprint/tame) it also has a life steal effect and you can shoot while riding. It is also fast and has a dive ability kind of like the snow owl it can land on walls and roofs and also it has decent health and melee. Definitely worth the tame!
