Bola it, tranq it, and feed it fish. I advise having a Baryonyx or another dino that gathers fish well with you.

if you need help finding one just walk around with a high level giga in a cryopod

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.

I hate these things. They are evil

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.

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

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.

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.

While taming, put everything into stacks of 1, that way any time it steals its a single item rather than a stack of 100 or something!

You can find it around most bodies of water diving for fish. Use a bola because they are extremely hard to hit

When going to tame one, unequip everything except your armor and put it in a box or tame you leave at your base (far away), then put only food, water, a set of bola and your weapon in your hotbar. Thanks to the new kibble system, you can bring and use regular kibble. Split all trank darts, narcs, etc into singles in your inventory (your weapon won’t care if the ammo is in singles), but it makes it harder for it to steal and eat your stuff. Wait until one is on the ground. Bola it, trank it out with darts. Starve tame it in case it’s friends come calling. When it’s hungry, feed it the kibble. Done!

To avoid having your mission essential gear stolen by these guts while trying to tame, split a bunch of stacks of berries, flit, thatch, anything that’s worthless. Having 80 small stacks of nonsense and a handful of essentials makes it far more likely they take the things you don’t need.

you can knock em out with one tranq arrow, but BE CAREFUL. it almost killed mine lol

I got attacked by one of these guys and it stole my narcotics!!! 45 of them gone, really guys is that necessary?!!!!

This bird has earned it the title: the flying pego
