Was on my pteradon on the ground (letting my bird regain stamina) and suddenly about 10 of them go beast mode at us... I’ve never flew up so fast
Terror Bird

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Terror Bird in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They are a mix of a raptor and a dodo and they are also a upgrade from an raptor
It can smell fear…don’t let them follow you home.
Faster than raptors. But can’t pounce due to their hilariously small wings
Terror Birds are an excellent part of any in-base defense system. Their speed allows them to get in hits quickly. They are especially useful when paired with Araneo, or any other small slowing/torpor inducing tame.
basically... better raptor. it's just a stringer raptor that glides.
Get a fully imprinted terror bird level 100+, paint it yellow, name it big bird, kill everything.
Advice:
These guys go down quick but wake faster, don’t be like me and come back the minute it wakes up
The Terror Bird is a great scout. It's high speed and ability to glide makes it useful for escaping other predators. However, it does have pretty low weight, and sometimes low health, so I would level up its weight capacity and it's health. ( But that's for the…
The Terror Bird is a great scout. It's high speed and ability to glide makes it useful for escaping other predators. However, it does have pretty low weight, and sometimes low health, so I would level up its weight capacity and it's health. ( But that's for the Terror Birds I found, as they had low weight and slightly low health. If you find ones that are better, mine might be weak or a lower level, so do as you want! I hope this info was a bit helpful :D )
So the whole “beaches are safe” thing really doesn’t apply to The Center. These birds spawn in droves along the shoreline, at least on Tropical Island South. There are other odd spawns along this particular coast as well, including Equus, which is a tad strange.

The first time I ran into the Terror Birds, I was quickly eaten. I came back and killed all but one, which I bola’d and tamed. YEEHAW CHICKEN COWBOY
Annoying dodo on steroids.
They stalk you watching your every move watch out these things will find you and kill you
If they are in group then don't go through
Satan's right hand hen. When you jump, it jumps higher. When you run, it runs faster. When you finally think you've lost it, it shows up as sure as death. One is a negotiable death, a group is the apocalypse
Remember these guys are fast. Make sure you have plenty tranq arrows and bolas. If you really don't want it to break out fast use a bear trap. Be careful there torpor runs out fast. Good Luck and have fun survivor
Keep a hold of jump as you're in air and it will glide
If you want to die find a terror bird
1. Tame one of these and name it dodo king/queen
2. Tame dodos and name them warrior 1-39
And you got yourself a dodo kingdom!
I've encountered a out 5 of these things on a beach near my house. It took only 1 to peck me into the shadow realm.
1 craft 20 bola
2 craft 100 Iraq arrows
3 shot it in the head
4 feed it meat
5 enjoy the terror bird
