You can’t pick wild ones up with Creatures. Luckily these animals will attack you and chase you if you go right up to them.

I used this to a create a Box with 1 foundation, 3 walls and a door. Got the Hespornis to chase me into said box where I locked it inside. After that it was a simple case of getting my Icthyornis to hunt and retrieve fish for me then feeding it to the trapped Hespornis. It still took a long time. But at least i didn’t have to chase the Hespero or press Y to feed then drop the fish

Could just be a coincidence but I had a MUCH easier time feeding this guy fish while he was swimming in the water than on land. It took a lot of back and forth but he wasn’t constantly pecking me in the face and the dead fish body wasn’t jumping in the way so that feed fish/release body wasn’t interchanging every time. I could barely approach these dudes on land because everything was working against me. I have two parasaur tames stationed parallel the water crossings with their turrets enabled so they can warn me if something nasty heads my way while I’m distracted underwater. Hopefully this helps others out!

One of the worst things you need to tame for kibble, but this is how to do it:

1. Craft a wooden cage

2. Aggro it onto land

3. Place cage on top of it

4. Spend an hour killing fish and dragging them to it, feeding it through the bars carefully or you’ll open the cage and let it out.

5. You let it out, didn’t you? Pick the cage up and trap it again.

6. Watch out for that ichth- It stoke your fish... and half the stuff in your inventory. Kill it.

7. Cuss in frustration at every piranha on the Ark trying to eat you, then feed them to it too.

8. Finally finish taming the dumb bird - now just remember to keep feeding it fish forever.

Oh and watch out for Argentavis in the area, they like corpses and they don’t like you even if you’re carrying the corpse. They’ll steal your fish and then try to kill you.

I picked it up with a grappling hook, then jumped on my wyvern & flew it to a safer place to tame with lots of salmon. I also threw a tent over it to stop it from wandering off. Best way to tame. So much easier.

Put it in a taming box these birds are an easy kill for predators

don’t tame this guys. It’s Ito worth the effort. Seriously. You’re literally better off taming a breeding pair of yutyrannus for kibble eggs than taming this moron. Unless you’re in a very hoisted server I really don’t recommend.

Up if you think that these guys should be in mobile and you feed in raw prime fish meat

Terribly long to tame it ...terribly long

Not even x9999 can insta tame it

Most exhaustIng passive team ever!

God alive they don't want much do they

Tried to tame one earlier (you gotta drag them fish. Don even do their own hunting like! Lazy birds) kept dropping the fish trying to feed them taming bar ended up going down when I was on 25.7% I gave up beestrd birds

Aka pelicans on alcohol pls up

You can easily kill for polmor

(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

Of you want to tame one of these I've noticed that they sometimes they come to you like dolphins if you have fish on the final hotbar spot, might be good to keep in mind if you are having trouble lugging a giant fish around with you.

Lasso, drag onto a trap boat, then ride around to the fish. Bigger the fish, faster the tame.

If you are force taming, these guys need to be awake for the command to work. It is cheap but trust me you probably don’t want to do an hour long fetch quest for it.

Side note; the hespers have an instant kill attack on fish.

Feeding them sabertooth salmon seems to work the best.

Don't bother seriously. They are a pain to try and tame. You xan grab a fish 3 times the size of the bird and what's this? 10%!

That's right. Unless you have at least 10 fish all ready to be dragged don't bother.

Build a pen to lock them in and then bring fish to it to tame and earn yourself a golden egg to make kibble
