Tips & Strategies

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!

The first tip that... was beautiful I would love to know how Greg is doing
New best flyer in the game grapple to it and whistle it to where you want to go!
I think you should try to tame this as an water pt it has decent weight and Regens Stam on water also great at fishing
like rl seagulls they can steal your lunch. and your master craft sword which by luck you found in purple loot drop.
Please tell me a use for these
Donβt kill them use them to get prime meat by tamping them and putting them on find and retreve the normal meat will turn some of it to prime meat very helpful
Up this so noobs can see
Ok, am I the only one here that wants one and explored the whole map and not find any at all? Am I lucky or unlucky
A few uses
To be annoying
To steal your favorite animals
To be sadistic
To eat everything they can
To give good meat
(From killing them)
To be annoying

(Mainly that last one.)
Using a Bola on one of these dudes is way easier said than done, I found it easier to shoot them with a tranquilizer arrow. I brought down a level 14 in one shot, after wasting 8 Bolas. Despite how annoying they can be. When their tamed they are extremely useful, for getting prime from fish and small animals, along with making taming otters and hespies much easier. If you set them to hunt and retrieve, you can target a fish or small animal and they will kill it and bring it back to you, so you can kill thoes salmon without having to step foot into the water. You can also use them to clear out piranhas. They are incredibly useful to have tamed, but very pesky when wild. One of the worst things to encounter early on is a flock of these guys. I usually see them alone, but I've also sewn them travel in large flocks and they will circle you and relentlessly steal everything edible from you, because unlike pegos that run off, the seagulls don't leave. But sometimes they don't aggro. I spent a whole hour trying to get this one bird to aggro on me, but he simply would not. Apparently whenever you come close to these birds it does a dice roll for if the bird will attack or not, and they always seem to aggro when you don't want then too, but never aggro when you want then to chase you so you can tame them, because 9 times out of 10 their flying above the water, however it's not too uncommon to see them inland if your exploring the southern islets region.
P.s. they will only eat fishy, but like most creatures they gain food from kibble. Not alot of people know this but you can literally just feed creatures kibble unless they have a really strict diet. So if you don't have any fish you can feed them a cheap kibble. If your playing on the switch, the seagull egg is used for bee kibble.
This has been an excessive review by sloppy crow
Awesome for prime and taming hespitones and otters
