Steelslaughter here,

Remember that every creature in ARK has a purpose, a utility. This ranges from every other living soul stepping foot near you, and the dodo is no exception. They can be tamed to act as part of an escape plan from a giga/Rex/alpha hunt gone wrong, as they can give you a few extra seconds to run, which is always appreciated (trust me on this one, you won’t regret it). So even the dumbest of these birds can save your arsehole from the tightest of situations, so don’t be afraid to experiment and look (and stay) alive.
