Taming

To tame a Gigantoraptor, find a nest with an adult and baby. Distract the parent by throwing fertilized eggs at it, then hide in the nest with the baby. The baby will perform actions (spinning, bowing, flapping) — mimic the same action within 2-3 seconds to advance taming. Failing reduces progress. Keep the parent alive or the tame fails.
