Tips & Strategies
(Sorry for any grammatical errors but I’m using a translator to write this tip) the best way to tame a hesperornis is to:
- Look for one of the lowest possible level (in case you want to waste less time and less resources);
- Have the hesperornis follow you and send him into a trap made of wood or straw, formed by a foundation, 3 fances (and another one to close the cage) and a wooden ramp (to allow him to climb in);
- In case there are more hesperornis, with the same type of trap catch one of the opposite sex next to the other one already trapped (so as to have the mating bonus);
- With an ichtyornis take some fish, preferably large salmons but do not harvest the fish by the ichtyornis;
- Enter the trap with one fish and gently give it to the hesperornis (but be careful not to drop it because otherwise it will devour it and give you no taming percentage);
Repeat the steps with the ichthyornis and feed more fish to the hesperornis until it’s tame (and all this in a few minutes). I hope this tip can help someone and, in case it is useful

I don't understand how they've updated to Unreal 5 for Ark Ascended and still can't fix the button to feed these stupid birds 🤦♂️
I punched one once then placed a cage and hid behind it so it ran into the cage and my friend closed it then we just started bringing fish up to the cage and feeding it
Use an itchthyornis to gather fish for it. The buff increases efficiency.
Apparently the taming for this bird is bugged in Ascended because I've been teying to tame a lvl 90 female for hours now. Can't drag the fish corpse to it. It won't let me feed it. I've even tried taming it with fish meat. Has not worked at all.
They deal hundred millions of damages to fish... but only does 1 damage to other creatures
ok
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 don’t know if it’s different in pc or ps4)and it’s constantly swinging around your face making it annoying because you’re constantly dropping it. Either make it so the controls to feed them are different then dropping it or make ur so it’s not constantly in ur face.
You can easily kill for polmor
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.
Here's how I tamed one using Ichthyornis. 👇
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.
