This things can kill most small creatures in the water as you may know BUT did you know they can kill Cnidera (Jellyfish) without being harmed? Easy way to get em out of your way or to farm biotoxin early on.

I hate these things. They are evil

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

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!

Guide for killing fish with ichthyornis on UME (or any other platform):

1. Turn on hunt or hunt and retrieve (in creature settings)

2. Carry the ichthyornis on your shoulder (target it and tap)

3. Target a fish (make sure the fish is in the middle of the screen)

4. Release the ichthyornis by holding the right side of your screen

5. The ichthyornis will target and kill the fish, and bring the fish back to you if you selected hunt and retrieve, or drop it if you picked hunt instead.

6. The fish will have a slight golden glow around it, indicating that it has been killed by an ichthyornis, and will drop prime fish meat, and give 5x more taming affinity when fed to a hesperornis.

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

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

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)

This guy ate my stone axe shouldn’t that slit his throat

I hate these guys with a passion, I'll shoot them the second I see them, idc if they have a family or something, I HATE them so much 😭

Hello all players,

The Ichthyornis has been reported to cause unnecessary frustration. They demand space while taking others' space, and then they steal from you if you do not comply. They seem to like shiny things, and will throw metal weapons on the ground when seen. They also cause tension with alarming sounds made when fishing, but are simply referred to as flying Pegomastax or steal-gulls. They are simply made to do this as they are very vain and they can easily be killed or tamed. Find good sides and these birds will be your best friends.

Sincerely,

DodoRex.

P.S. Player that suggested the new creatures including Irritator and Pinacosaurus, we will consider your ideas and possibly add these creatures as Additions, which oftentimes evolve to Main Creatures. Much luck is granted, Player.

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.

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

So glad this hell bird isn't in mobile

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

These birds are a must have if you are looking to tame otters and hesperonis!

When set to hunt and retrieve, it will target fish and small dinos and bring their corpses back to you. The corpses will be glowing which can either be harvested for some prime meat or can be fed to wild otter and hesperonis for maximum taming progress.

ANNOYING. I am taming a level 20 and it is taking like 40 narcotics. BUT I like how these goofy boys look when on your shoulder. AND I'd rather spend narcotics to tame them and get prime from dodo meat rather than killing big junk to get prime. LIL JIMBOB THE SEAGULL.

These definitely should be tamed by making them steal narcoberries or narcotics cuz knockout taming commonly kills these idiots

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!

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