Overview
The Dodo is a small herbivore commonly tamed for its utility in gathering plant-based resources. It reduces the weight of harvested items when carried in inventory. This makes it useful for early-game resource farming before stronger pack animals are available. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Tropeognathus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Pteranodon, Quetzal, Tapejara, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
Dodos are often used to farm berries and seeds efficiently while minimizing inventory load.

More about taming the Dodo
Tame the Dodo using the knockout method. Use a Bola or trap it in a Bear Trap to immobilize it. Then sedate it with Tranq Arrows from a Bow, Tranquilizer Darts from a Crossbow, or a Wooden Club. The best food is Basic Kibble. Mejoberry also works if kibble is unavailable. The process takes about 2 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Its melee attack harvests full quantities of Rare Flower and Rare Mushroom. It is highly vulnerable to Instant HurtDinos effects, such as those from explosive traps. Use a Bola to immobilize it before sedation. It resists damage from Spike Wall traps by 50%.
