Tips & Strategies
They eat chitin and only chitin. Even after tamed. They do not like water so you cannot tame it if you’re in water or it will fly away fast and lose taming effectiveness. You also have to make sure your other tames with you are on passive or the wild sinomacrops will know and fly away scared. When you find one, get near it and it will get hearts around it and fly down to you. When it lands at your feet equip chitin in your end quick slot and feed it. Unequip the chitin from your quick slot. Then activate the taming tracker so you don’t lose it as they’re small. Follow it and wait until it gets hearts around it again and lands at your feet. Repeat process until tamed.
Idont know if anyone mantioned it but babies eat chitin
Spawn on the beach middle left of lost islands, find some bugs, kill them, harvest, puff in last item slot and crouch walk to sinoma crops feed passively.
Careful while flying because if you run out of stamina you will fall and die but any item you put into its inventory the weight is halved

1.Make sure you have chitin in your last item slot and make sure you have a decent amount of it. 2.When you find one you should get as close as possible while in regular walk mode and crouch and slowly walk toward them until you get about 18-22 feet away from it or until you see the hearts sprite. (never sprint or jump while near it or you may scare it, resetting the taming timer each time) 3. once you see the hearts pop up slowly back up while in crouch mode and the sino will follow you when it lands it will either slowly crawl to you or jump when it gets close enough simply feet it the chitin when prompted. Once you have the sino in the taming process be sure to track it in the taming log so you know where it is. 4. It will be ready to eat another chitin every 16 seconds. Repeat step “2-3” until tamed. Make sure to clear out all hostile and big Dino’s before you do this big Dino’s and your own tames like wyverns can scare Sino’s if they come to close while taming.
If your base is in a wild Sino spawn region, keep your tame dung beetles safely out of sight. Wild Sinos will attack them otherwise.
Crouch within 60-50m from it, when it reaches 19m it will have hearts to you, have the chitin in the last slot for it then feed it with your corresponding button or key, it will eat it, fly up and fly away, you can chase it, just chase it while crouched unless it's 60+ meters away, then repeat
Like if this helps
Haha, first to tip :D
I wish i can play on lost island...
Spawn in desert towards the right side of the map close to the boarder.
ARCHAEOPTERYX... but again and hopefully better :)
To tame get one out to the water if possible then follow it with a raft bc they can only land if on your raft like if this helped
