Tips & Strategies
Solo taming for these guys you will need a quetzal with a platform to get pretty close to it while it's in the air. Bring about 20 plus bolas to hit with while it's in mid air. Once you hit it with a bola it will drop to the ground. It takes some time for them to drop , so be ready to bola it once more when you reach it. Tranq it in the head to put it down fast. Another way is to get close to it and hit it with tranq darts and when it gets spooked follow it. Keep doing this and it will wear the tapejara down and he will end up landing or flying low. They are pretty big birds so usually they get stuck in trees or rocks because of their large wing span. Ghillie suits are a plus but not needed unless you're trying to find one on the ground. Harder tame than a quetzal by far but easy to do once you have tamed a few.
More Tapejara Taming & KO Tips
Its very easy to tame this thing, the hard thing is finding one of these, but when you find it make sure there are no dangerous wild dinos around because they might kill you, to tame it, slowly approach with a bola and when it looks like it will fly away, BOLA IT so it doesnt fly away and just shoot it with tranq arrows or anything that makes it unconcious,
His saddle has 2 extra seats and the passengers can shoot while flying.
You can eat rare mushrooms or rare flowers to anger these things
A raptor killed it while taming so i put a bullet in his head and made an EXAMPLE TO HIS BROTHERS
To tame a Tapejara is actually, pretty easy, first things first, you will need:
-A saddled flying creature
-At least 3 bolas, in case you miss bolas in him(if you are feeling lucky, you can make only one, but I don't recommend it at all)
-Some Rare Flowers
-Club, Bow or crossbow(with tranq arrows, or else you will kill it)
-A lot of Meat(like, 20-40, only to tame eat, you probably will want more as he will get hungry after tamed), or at least 4-7 Prime Meat
-Narcotics(optional, in case of the Tapejara taking too long to tame, good having some as a backup)
How to do it: when you spot the Tapejara, use the rare flowers and make it aggro you. After that, get to land, exit your mount(recommend to put it to Passive, or your Tapejara will get killed), and bola it. After that, shoot/hit it with tour weapon of choice until you knock it out. Give it the food of choice(recommend also protecting it, as it has a low health and can easily be killed by raptors), and wait until tamed. CONGRATULATIONS, Now you have a Tapejara !! Hope this guide helped
This is my best flying Dino other than the griffin. You should really get this Dino. To tame sneak up behind using gilly suit and bola it then tranj it if available use chain bola it will hold longer
Note if ur mobile don't use rare flowers they won't aggro
Up for noobs to see
I use these things to tame quetzals
If they are hiding, and you don't want it getting away, kill all creatures around it, then eat a rare flower. It will come right to you, and when it does, bola it. Hope this helps!

Extremely difficult to tame. Best options are to bola it, and then use a longneck rifle with tranq darts. Otherwise trying to get it to fly into the side of a cliff and get stuff is the other option for a solo tame.
