Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a ichthyornis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ichthyornis.
I have a spino it was a easy tame
Don't try to use a club to knock these out. I learned that the hard way.
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
These things are anoying on xbox they keep your crossbow pike etc so stay AWAY
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
Be careful if you are knocking this out with a club, 1 extra hit after it got knocked out and it's dead.
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
I don’t know where to find these guys someone help.
Get a storage box and fit all your stuff in it apart from the weapon your using to knock it out so you wont have to worry about being stolen, aside from the taming weapon. Then when it is knocked out, get your taming stuff from the box and tame this thief bird. It's that easy.....
Can’t be carried by a tuso, quetz, etc. but can be carried by a human. Logic?
You have to tame a pego by letting it steal berries from you but to tame the flying pego, you need to knock it out. THEY ARE BASICLY THE SAME ANIMAL! WHY CANT YOU TAME THE FLYING PEGO LIKE A NORMAL PEGO, IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!!
Ichthyornis is not released on mobile yet, just a disclaimer for those who want to know
One Crossbow+Tranq will take it down.
When taming bring lots of tranq arrows. For ichthyornis level 1-15 I suggest the wooden bow, 16-30 crossbow, higher levelled use darts. Why use different weapons? It is a prime example to each ranged weapon can have more or less damage, be careful as the next dart/arrow that lands a hit might kill it. I find bola kind of works but isn’t enough to get it on the ground. Make sure you lure them to land because they aren’t immune to drowning.
Keep in mind that you will need narcotics to keep them under for taming.
On default attack/aggression settings it’ll attack very close dinos when on your shoulder. If you told it to not follow, picking it up and putting it down makes it follow you again.
While they are annoying thieves, they are really good pets.
Hide yo items, hide yo tames, hide yo buds, hide yo self.
