Instead of trying to sneak up on it, have an open taming pen ready, use a pteranodon and eat some rare flowers. The Tapejara will aggro and you lead it home. Viola, captured pterosaur.
Tapejara
The Tapejara is a versatile and highly maneuverable pterosaur known for its three-person saddle. While it may not have as much stamina and weight carrying capacity as other creatures, it has unique benefits in combat. The Tapejara can land on trees and other vertical surfaces, allowing both the pilot and the passengers to use weapons. Its rudder-like fin make it one of the few flying creatures able to hover and strafe side-to-side.

9/10 one of my favourite flying mounts. I go everywhere with mine, scouting and getting some stuff. The control is so satisfying and better instead of the other flying mounts that you have to look here to go there all that shit. Level up weight and stamina, take it wherever. Downside is that it can't pick up many things. I also used mine to tame stuff, using it to go to places faster and for a getaway. I used the solo Tapejara strategy to tame a Quetzal!

Eat rare flowers while you are on your flying mount and lure it in some sort of trap then bola it and tranq it. Make sure it is enclosed so that it can't be attacked during the tame
Use rare flowers to get it's agro then hop on a thylo or any tame where u can pull out weapons and bola it
Pop a rare flower and it will attack you, use an argy trap to get it real easy.
Now that rare flower attracts Dino's to attack, you can now lure the tapejara to a cave/ taming bin or somewhere safe. And all you do is bola it when it's attacking u and down she'll go
Use a rare flower to take it to a taming pen. It will be agro on you for quite some time but bring 20 just in case. Have an argy with high hp so it can take the hits while you bring it to the taming pen
Tried to tame one 3 separate times. Each time I hit it with a bola, knocked it out, and put meat in it. Each time something came from somewhere and killed the tap and my pteradon
With the new addition of rare flowers taming these things have gotten easier because now you can get the aggression from the tapejara with the effect from the flowers. This will make them not run away and you can finally bola them without a hassle!
Be sure to have a ghillie suit. Way easier to bola it that way. Tapajara makes quetzal tame an easy task being that you can shoot from the mount while flying in first person
Fly sideways while shooting from a passenger seat to avoid shooting the pilot or mount.
I think if the three saddle and the bird is careing a player you might be able to grapple on for more than 4 players
DO NOT LOG OFF WHILE ATTATCHED TO A TREE OR CLIFF! you will find yourself on the floor and your bird MIA (possibly still on the cliff)
If you have a Tapi that will not land, drive it towards a mountain. It seems they must be within a certain distance from the ground in order to land. This can be a very long (the first time took me 2 hours), frustrating, and rather dangerous process (bring a parachute), so I…
If you have a Tapi that will not land, drive it towards a mountain. It seems they must be within a certain distance from the ground in order to land. This can be a very long (the first time took me 2 hours), frustrating, and rather dangerous process (bring a parachute), so I only recommend it for a Tapi you REALLY want. Good luck and I hope this helps other solo players!
If its a girl punch in the Vagina. Guy dick punch that mother fucker
This is a definite spur of the moment tame, if you find one around your base get your ghillie, bolas, and tranqs asap go back to its location, lay down and wait for it to land. Bola it and aim your tranqs at his head for a quick knockout.
Biggest assholes in the game. They fly away at incredible speeds compared to the speed they actually have. Quetz cage, enough said
Best way to tame is to wait for it to land, bola, KO (Preferably a normal crossbow), then place spike walls around it for protection
