Similarly to real life, these greedy douchebags will try to steal your sandwiches, however if you are drunk enough, you can stay up into the late hours of the evening and have deep insightful conversations with these feathered friends as they simply stare at you in confusion and bark in bird language. In return they will bring you magical fish as a reward.

When you think nothing could be worse, and there you have it, a flying pegomastax!!

Bola it, tranq it, and feed it fish. I advise having a Baryonyx or another dino that gathers fish well with you.

I had the pleasure of befriending one of these animals. Despite popular opinion, I find ichthyornis birds to be quite charming and graceful. So much that I found myself taming one. After he woke up, I saw a fire in Greg. From then on, we would be best friends. He’d come with me everywhere. From simple resource gathering to Bronto taming, Greg would be there supporting me from my shoulder. When I was too tired to go fishing or hunting, Greg was there to do it for me. He even makes the effort to make sure I get the best meat out of it. He is a quick learner, he went from from level 20 to level 40 in a day. Anywhere I go, he comes. Anything I need, he makes it his top priority. To this day, Greg continues to be my best friend and sometimes we just hang out on the beach or go fishing even when the resources aren’t needed. I thank Greg for his time with me and his endless favors that he has completed for me. Thank you, Greg.

It'll steal your sacrifices and give you fish in return!

I was attacked by one while mining flint and it stole my pick. Then it got my pike when I went to fight. That's when I noticed noticed that it didn't actually "steal" what was in my hand, but just disarmed me and dropped it in the ground. Check the ground and see if your stuff is there after they attack you. My pick was laying there near the spot of the initial attack.

New best flyer in the game grapple to it and whistle it to where you want to go!

Whistle attack my target on a fish or dodo-sized creature and throw the seagull at it. It will return the corpse to you that you can harvest for prime meat. A must have for early game taming!

First the ground becomes unsafe to keep stuff on you, now the skies?? Robin Hood obviously doesn't like me

While fighting it will attempt to swoop down on you. This attack will either steal food from your inventory or disarm you.

When set to "Hunt & Retrieve" it will bring you dodos or fish and the dodos will give raw prime or a few of it. And fish will give raw prime fish meat. You'll know cause the corpse will glow yellow as the icthyornis is bringing it to you!

Kibble uses raw prime fish meat NOT raw fish like Dododex says

You can find it around most bodies of water diving for fish. Use a bola because they are extremely hard to hit

They steal your crap like a pegomastax and a pidgion had a baby

I got attacked by one of these guys and it stole my narcotics!!! 45 of them gone, really guys is that necessary?!!!!

Just tamed one a lv20 took 1 tranq dart while it landed. Fed it fish meat an some prime fish. Took about 20mins

Drop to prone when you hear it attack and it will miss you.

Like the pegomastax,the seagull will still steal from other players but it does steal food but it eats the entire stack.

When you knock it out it will be set on hunt. So don't freak out when it's missing right after you tamed it because it's probably hunting things for you.

The fish they kill seem to tame Hespiornis faster as well.
