These guys are not only a good starter tame, they also have 2 more utilities. They are technically the best distraction tame
(tames that are sacrificed to save the owner's life). They can be be used to escape carnivores such as Dilos, Rexes, ecc.
They are the best distraction tames because they are the easiest ones to tame, and they are also common.
They are also an early-game kibble source.
More Dodo Utility Tips
You can get prime meat from the babies, but it spoils very quick, so this is how to get it all to a predator:
1. Incubate lots of dodo eggs so they only have one or two seconds left to hatch.
2. Carry the dodo eggs as well as a campfire (you might need two) and fuel.
3. When you’ve knocked out the predator you want, light the fire and hatch some of the dodo eggs.
4. Kill the babies and harvest their meat with a metal pick.
5. Feed the meat to the predator and enjoy!
I’ve experimented, and it looks like you get two to six prime per dodo.
