migulao Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 So, while adventuring around the world of Don't Starve, and growing my majestic beard, I came across a tallbird nest. Like the suicidal idiot that I am, I waited for an opening and spent half an ingame day and half my health on getting an egg. After being chased by a thousand angry eyeballs with legs I made it back to camp. I'm considering hatching the egg, but I'm not sure whether I'm ready for it or not, since I don't have much knowledge of it. I do have a good constant food supply, and summer is coming up, so I should have food to spare, plus an ice flingomatic. So, I wanted to hear your opinions on this. Should I attempt to hatch the eggm or should I eat it and then go back to the nest for more?

Auth Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 HATCH IT. Don't listen to anyone else, listen to me, the certified tallbirdologist. You're going to need seeds, and lots of them. Once it hits teen stage, just hunt bunnies/other small meaty animals and koalefants, even feeding it monster meat works as long as you have spare healing items which I normally do in singleplayer. Remember to keep it safe in smallbird form, and stay away from tooth traps, the famed insta-smallbird killer. Eating/cooking the egg is not worth it.

Mobbstar Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Professor W. Bob is correct. A tallbird egg has little nutrition value compared to the hassle of acquiring it. A pet smallbird, however, can prove very useful for hunting. Think of it as a long-legged flightless gyrfalcon. It only requires a few seeds the day too.

The Letter W Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Wait until it starts hatching and then eat it. It tastes about as good as you'd expect.

Rellimarual Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The one advantage of the tall bird egg as food is that it never spoils. You can put it by a keystone or someplace else where you might need food in a pinch but don't visit often.

migulao Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 So, funny thing. I have a few pig houses next to my base to protect me from hounds. On my previous playthrough where I got to 56 days, they saved me many times. They ate the egg. I ate them. Oh well, I got another, atleast.

jacklul Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hatch it then kill and eat it. Free morsel?
