Um, dunno if this is new or not, but anything that it can get prime from after taming it can pickup and kill wild. Just lost a nice Lystro to it. They don't leave a bag of the non-food items behind, either, so you lose EVERYTHING the Dino was carrying for you; mats, tools, structures and skins go poof.
Despite being a seagull it does not flee but like modern day seagulls it does steal food from you.
Makes the beach not safe. ? Stupid birds. They stole my longneck rifle and my 200+ tranq darts that took me hours to make.
These little f$$☆s will shred your fert eggs becareful
First of all on the taming endeavor. Make all foods are stacks of one and clear your taming group because you'll probably have to use whistles. Mine tore off on a killing spree instantly on tame. I suggest a bola and placing your first shot from far away. That'll give time to spin up the bola.
Once tame I suggest setting 'Hunt and Retrive'. My trials on hunt have resulted in chasing it to get it to go passive and land.
If anyone knows why it has a saddle slot I'm very curious to know why.
These things are anoying on xbox they keep your crossbow pike etc so stay AWAY
This thing took and ate all my kibbledont go near them if you have it
If you are trying to fish for blueprints kill every one of these you see. They'll fly up and grab the best fish.
Bring extras and inventory decoys. These little shits are thieves and unlike pegos you don't get it back.
Bola it and tranquility it down as soon as possible. Best to bring nothing but kibble or meat, bolas, tranqs/weapon, and a lot of narcotics.
Sometimes walks on Land. Pain in the ass when in steal Mode. Steals everything and eats it. Even steals weapons but Drops them away from you. Hard to Hit with any weapons or Dino. Beste weapons is flamethrower
These monsters stole my food while I was on my flying dino and it ate it while it died
Be careful if you are knocking this out with a club, 1 extra hit after it got knocked out and it's dead.
To prevent it from eating all of your narcotics place narcotis on your shoulder mounted dino
Every. Single. One. Dies.
I don't know if it's my crossbow, but they always die in one shot. Use darts.
Put your narcotics and kibbel in your dino when trying to tame
It stole my riot shield from me. And I went and 101. So I use the homing rocket on it with a smile. (Tip) don't go under that thing with good or you'll might lose it. That thing is real deal
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.
