Here's how I tamed one using Ichthyornis. π
What I did was use my Ichthyornis to Hunt fishes and bring the dead bodies for me.
Change his settings to "Hunt and retrieve", put him on your shoulder then you go swim. While you are swimming aim at The fish you want and double tap F (on PC). Ichthyornis will fly, kill the fish and bring the body to you.
Then you take the body to Hesperornis and feed it. Once you get used to it it's very fast and easy. I recommend following Hesp from behind so you dont need to adjust your aim all the time.
You can do the same to tame Otters.
The most frustrating thing about taming these guys is not only do they take a lot of fish but the same button to feed them is the same button to drop the fish(i donβt know if itβs different in pc or ps4)and itβs constantly swinging around your face making it annoying because youβre constantly dropping it. Either make it so the controls to feed them are different then dropping it or make ur so itβs not constantly in ur face.
Tame to this kill fish and drag there body to it and once tamed if you feed them more dead fish corpses it will build up and lay a golden egg which is used as a buff to certain dinos or oil or a player buff
Feeding them sabertooth salmon seems to work the best.
BIGGEST PAIN TO TAME EVER! have to get sabertooth fish kill them BUT do NOT harvest them you have to drag the body to it and feed it. Also good luck feeding it while the body is flailing everywhere in front of you. Also you CAN breed them.
