Tips & Strategies
Never tame with a tranq arrow, despite the bow, you’re probably going to kill it no matter what. I found a really nice high level and two shots of the arrow killed it. AVOID HEAD SHOTS ESPECIALLY. Also wait longer than usual between each hit. They’re feisty but squishy.
When they’re sitting on the ground quickly sneak up and bola it and take it from there.
If it sees you, goodluck. Prepare to get robbed and killed.

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’m pretty sure if a seagull eats my 250 narcotics it would fall asleep at least right? NO
These definitely should be tamed by making them steal narcoberries or narcotics cuz knockout taming commonly kills these idiots
Bola it, tranq it, and feed it fish. I advise having a Baryonyx or another dino that gathers fish well with you.
THESE SHOULD BE LIKE PEGOS BJT THEY STEAL NARCOTIC AND KNOCK THEMSELVES OUT
You have to tame a high level because it would have so little health you would kill it by accident. I would use a long neck to knock it out and probably 10 bolas because they are pretty hard to hit.
It's not a plane it's a ICHTYORNIS?!? WHAT THE FUC---
I recommend getting these really early on. They aren't hard to tame once you get a bow and arrow, and try to bolas it if you can. Make sure to bring some narco berries and stuff some fish in him. He's really good to have in not only the early game but throughout the game. If you put him on 'Huntnand Retrieve' mode and whistle to attack a dodo or other small creature, he will drag it body over to you wrapped in a golden haze. Now when you harvest the body, it will give you prime meat. That's why I recommend using him everytime you grind prime meat. Arguably commiting genocide on dodos is better than killing a bronto for prime meat, yes they may be annoying in the wild, but I'd recommend grabbing one soon.
They need to make it so that if you put narcos bio toxin etc in ur last hot bar a lot the icthyornis will eat them and get knocked out(like putting berries in ur last hotbar slot to tame the pego, but instead of taming it will be knocked out)
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.
