If in the redwood biome run to one of the small streams they glitch and don't register as water for you but it does for the terror bird so you can go prone in those streams and the terror bird will lose agro works for carno to.

These things are huge pricks.... I mean they act like there Trexs and they runs around in packs trying to see which bird can be the bigger prick.

I hate them with a passion like no other. Fast, travel in groups, very aggressive and strong attack means these things won't hesitate to make a meal out of you. All over SE and heavily concentrated in the Red Forest on The Center. If you can outrun them, (higher level = faster bird) best thing to do before you run out of stamina is introduce them to their oversized cousin the paracer. Stand by it's legs and let the bird try to attack you. I will accidentally bite the Paracer and make it angry. Immediately move out of the paracer's legs and run forward then across the path of the paracer again as the bird won't de-agro off you till it takes damage from the Paracer. If the paracer is anymore than 20 levels below the bird, or if the bird has friends, run like hell! If not, wait and the Paracer will kill it for free meat and hide and often some items, as they carry them usually. Same idea works with wolves, cats, etc. You can also run them into other defensive dinos or their fav snacks!

Please for gods sake carry some bolas, and I say some because they are never alone. Just stay clear of redwoods!

They spawn everywhere in the redwood, and I've seen them wild in a pack. They took out a thyacoleo!

These things are tougher and faster than they look. DO NOT fight them early in at all. If one aggros on you, jump onto a rock it cannot climb to confuse it, or run past something else it likes to eat.

This thing will aggro on most dinos you knock out. Me and my buddies were taming a 150 Rex, on Ragnorack, in a taming pin, and right when it got close to 98%, one of these douchebags ran past THREE Tribemates and ran STRAIGHT to our Rex to nibble on his nose. He lost 15 levels on Taming that day. Our Tribe member taming the Rex was speechless. Then we let the Rex eat the Terror Bird's corpse. It was a good day.

If caught in a pack of these hideous chickens on steroids, say your prayers and prepare to die.

These guys always are in a pack and all over the redwoods.If u need a quick getaway jump off a ledge big enough to damage u but not enough to kill u.They will glide all the way dowe until they reach the ground,in that time it takes RUN LIKE HELL.

Use sickles when you go to fight these guys. Any other weapon seems pointless with these jerks.

I always kill them on sight except for one I named Kylo he was once a hero. He fought a raptor to protect me and he also saved me from falling off a cliff. Best Terror Bird Ever

Bolas, tranq arrows to face.
Easy.

Got eaten by so many of these pesky little sh*ts in the beginning.just stay away from them till you can get to a higher level and aquire a fire wyvern then light the little gits up!

These guys are the worst. I knocked out my first quetz, and as soon as it fell to the ground, a pack of ten of these killed it before my tribemate and I could land on our argy to kill them

These things are fast, try throwing a bola at it and kill it with something

When encountering a terror bird they come in a pact

Terror birds will fit through a doorway if there's no door on it.

Wook at its wittle wings!

Pterra can’t pick it up? It’s probably too ugly to pick up.

Can be found near one of the explorer notes in the redwoods nearest to the writhering swamps.
