Since this is generally a first breed for new players, I’ll put this here: to hatch an egg, drop it near a fire pit. Once it hatches, you need to claim it, or it will die. After doing so, add berries to its inventory and manually feed them till about 10% maturity. After that, they can eat on their own.

Dodos are actually very good as a starter tame. They can make dodo kibbles (if you are on mobile ore switch) you can tame pteranodons which can make you travel ANYWHERE. Plus, they are good carnivore distractions when you are trying to run away from that raptor pack that invaded your thatch house and settled down there to wage war on you...

Easiest way to tame weak carnivorous (dimetrodon, for exemple) :

1rst : build a trap, to let your beloved victim falls in

2nd : get an agressive, (but the weakest you'd find) dodo on your shoulder

3rd : start the knock out process, for the next taming

4rth : as soon as the victim's HP are too low to keep the knockout, release the dodo

The the dodo would attack directly the tame, so you really don't want a high level one ;

At the really 1rst dodo's attack, you'd whistle passive

By this way, the tamin would agro on the big bird, eats it, heal back, while you'd keep knocking it

I had 2 dodos: Silverie and Goldie. I attacked a stuck parasaur, and it ran away, but my dodos were on attack target, so Silverie ran after it. It was too late to change her to passive, so Silverie got ambushed by a dilo. They attacked each other, so Goldie came in. He wasn’t on passive, either, so him and Silverie attacked the dilo together. The dilo killed Silverie, but I didn’t care that much. What I cared for was Goldie. I hoped he would win, but the dilo killed him, too. I miss him so much. 💔 😢
