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.

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.

This ass killed my lystro because I built on a cliff overlooking the beach and they keep flying up

The first tip that... was beautiful I would love to know how Greg is doing

Just tamed one of these myself, after reading the story of Greg I decided there was only one name suitable for this creature. I love My Greg so much, he is amazing. Shortly after I tamed him I was out gathering with him perched on my shoulder when I was attacked by a group of compys, Greg instantly Launched himself off my shoulder and flew into the air with on in his Jaws while my raptor killed the other 2. I've never enjoyed watching something that has attacked me die so much.... Until a couple minutes later. A Dilo ran up and before it could even blind me Greg swooped in and grabbed him up in his Jaws flew into the air and tore him to shreds. 10/10 would tame a whole battalion of Greg's.

Also they are great for catching fish and taming otters.

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

After reading the stories about Greg I realized these guys are awesome and I didn’t even know until after I tamed one, now I want to tame armies of these guys because they are so cool. Btw these dudes are extremely easy to know out because they come right at you and you can throw a bola at them and start tranqing them.

When you encounter this but hole you want to have a pear ready or something else and wait for it to attack you that wack it.

Great utility dino for solo players and early game use. Set to aggressive plus fallow attack range high will fly out while your walking and bring back a thing in range. Best used with cambo baryonyx loads of prim meat. Helpfull leave upvoot

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

These guys get you prime meat from dodo birds. Highly recommended

Tamed one, level 85 on Genesis. The regular kibble was giving about 8-9% each feed. Supposedly the 2x evo event was active aswell.

These annoying flyers can be used to aid in taming otters. Just set the hunt and retrieve feature on it, make it attack a fish, and as it comes back to you grab the fish and walk up to the otter and press the button to tame. Otters are quick tames, and provide insulation from both the heat and cold which directly depends on their melee stat. They can also hold multiple artifacts in their inventory. Can be found in shallow rivers.

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.

The explorer note says that will flee at the slightest provocation...they will not flee at the slightest provocation.

When going to tame one, unequip everything except your armor and put it in a box or tame you leave at your base (far away), then put only food, water, a set of bola and your weapon in your hotbar. Thanks to the new kibble system, you can bring and use regular kibble. Split all trank darts, narcs, etc into singles in your inventory (your weapon won’t care if the ammo is in singles), but it makes it harder for it to steal and eat your stuff. Wait until one is on the ground. Bola it, trank it out with darts. Starve tame it in case it’s friends come calling. When it’s hungry, feed it the kibble. Done!

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!

These birds are VERY annoying to new players. When I was new I would try to avoid them if possible. To kill when you are new, aggro them, then when they swoop down to steal your stuff shoot your bow then collect the loot. I hear they are a good tame to have though, because of their hunt and retrieve ability.
