How to Find Colorful Dodo Birds and Shoulder Creatures

Alongside the massive predator, your world features smaller wildlife, including colorful dodo birds and small creatures that can perch on your character's shoulder. Securing these animals early keeps them safe from wandering threats.

Locating and Penning Dodo Birds

1. Explore open grassy areas during the day to find groups of colorful dodo birds standing and wandering across the turf.

2. Carry vanilla leads or boats in your inventory so you can safely guide or transport the birds back to your base.

3. Construct a fenced grass enclosure with good lighting and hay bales to house your flock. Build this pen inside a walled compound rather than an exposed valley so a wandering giant Dodo Rex cannot stumble into your farm during a hunt.

Carrying a Small Creature on Your Shoulder

1. Interact with friendly small creatures you encounter to see if they will hop onto your character's shoulder.

2. Leave an empty shoulder slot available, and avoid falling down ledges, entering water, or taking damage while traveling, as standard Minecraft movement mechanics can cause shoulder-perched companions to dismount onto the ground.
