From my experience it will not eat insects or bugs when being tamed.
Fjordhawk
The Fjordhawk is a scavenging bird in ARK: Survival Evolved that is included in the free DLC map, Fjordur, on June 12, 2022. It can fetch items and locate injured targets. After dying, the Fjordhawk can retrieve and return your items once you die.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Fjordhawk in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Build a sealed trap dino gates on each end. Double doors along sides. Walk around on giga killing things... Walk to trap. A flock will follow you around. Lure the one you want into trap. Throw out ovis...kill... rinse repeat till tamed.
Best method I have found. Takes about 4…

Best method I have found. Takes about 4 or 5 ovis for high level on 3x
Fjordhawks are somewhat a little hard to tame according to me. You have to kill things for the progress bar to get up higher. You cannot be on a mount while completing this process.
FJHawk will not recover your bag if it contains a artifact. Carry a artifact when taming and you won’t lose your inventory if you die. Share this tip
Use an max level Ovis to tame a bunch of them
You have to kill the creatures yourself. You can’t do it while riding a Dino
They only travel to you if you have something on your inventory… If you are empty, they will stay on the same place
No matter who tamed it, the bird will only take the bag from the person who's shoulder it was on at the time of death.
Have a friend join you, kill your friend over and over again (make sure their inventory in empty), feed to hawk I told me about 30m but it works
Once you are spotted by a fjordhawk it will follow you stealing the bodies of things you’ve killed, kind of assisting in battle, and attacking any pet you can pick up (shoulder and or 2-handed carry). Hitting them the first time usually does 0 damage and a weird “puff”…

Hitting them the first time usually does 0 damage and a weird “puff” effect. Roars from a rex cannot properly stun them until the hawk’s guard is down. There is no escape once they begin following you, the only way to not lead them straight to your base is to kill them.
I tried using rexes and it didn’t work I killed them with Shotgun and pike didn’t work they just ignore it they were tamed rexes
Fjordhawks will also carry your bag when teleporting to different beds, basically making beds primitive teleporters!
Honestly just go to the forest where these guys are and kill something, then step back and wait for the hawks to come. They will come if they are nearby. Repeat process in different areas until you’ve got one! I have many now.
Tame a pair of Ovis and breed baby ovis. Pump pathing but health in it. This will give you more taming %. It does not need to be healed.
Be advised! I’m currently experiencing a taming bug that’s preventing progression. I fed one hawk about 30 ovis and it never even started the tame.
For taming a Fjordhawk, I tamed a Rock Elemental as no regular creature can harvest is letting you tame an infinite amount so as long as the body doesn't spoil.
Taming tip: Lvled sheep will tame them quickly.
It would be cool if you had to to fight it and take its eggs from the nest
I dont think it will retrieve items because once a creature gets out of distance it usually stops moving, which u can notice from wyverns on crystal
We can agree it has no Rizzoli
