Featherlight
The Featherlight is a small, flying glow pet that rides on a survivor’s shoulder, lighting dark places and detecting nearby threats. Its light also weakens Reapers and keeps Nameless at bay.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Featherlight in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Iguanodons can convert berries and veggies in their inventory into seeds. Get one for your featherlights. My shinehorns also eat seeds before any other food in their inventory, so it came in handy.
Grapple hook them like other light pets to take them in a safe spot to tame.

How is there mobile kibble for it if its not in mobile
As of June 25, 2022 they eat raw meat too after taming

Descended from the regal argentavis, the featherlight, although small boasts a power that can mean the difference between life and death on the damaged abberation ARK, its colourful plumage is loaded with a stable form of liquid element, causing it to emit powerful light strong enough to burn through the thick hide of reapers and the nameless exposing the soft flesh beneath for stronger hits and faster kills
With all light pets such as (bulb dog, featherlight, shinehorn act.) when there light is on, you deal a lot more damage to reapers and you take less too.
Kibble Ingredients
1 × Featherlight Egg

3 × Fiber
1 × Water
Wiki is incorrect the Featherlight eats meat not veggies/Berries
How are these guys a early game tame?? THEY SPAWN IN THE RED BOIME!!!!!!!!!
Crystal Isles have them! Not exactly sure where but my tribemates have seen them.
One of my favorite creatures, since right when i was getting into ark (I started by watching YouTube videos.)
A shame there's not a ton of info on the little guys.
I guess they aren't exactly a favorite tame.

Found them in valg no longer ab exclusive!
Easier to tame w z seed, make sure to have a hazmat suit.

To the person from 2022 asking how these aren’t an early game tame, well now they are surprisingly!, I mean , if you have a pteranodon on Fjordur and go to the swamp to quickly gather some auric mushrooms for them, and fly out and go to the small aberration cave that requires no hazard suit all you have to do is find a Featherlight,
and hope there’s no rock drakes near it, ( They spawn in there as well as Ravagers, Megalosaurs,Scorpions
idk about anything else dangerous, that’s all I’ve seen that attack, unless you count roll rats that attack if you steal their gems
So in Fjordur they are technically early game ig
These guys will eat seeds as well as meat, just tested.
Fjord cave top right hand side of map behind the waterfall 1.46 89.89 is easy tames nothing dangerous...
When it lands place a foundation on it and build a box around it, that will keep it from flying away while you try to tame it. (Similar to vulture taming)
Can use raw meat or Auric Mushrooms when raising
