I have had the same issue, though I was more "lucky". Logged in on the first floor and this is what I saw:
It basically had spawned in stuck between boxes. Directly below me were 3 AI crew members sitting which he luckily couldn't get to. I remember this was a thing way back when on Ark. It's a shame this is now again a thing here as they did fix it there.
Has anyone successfully managed to tame a parrot, and if so, how'd you do it? I have the hardtack, but getting them to 25% health and bola'ing it seems impossible with how fast they are. Let alone having to do that multiple times until it's tamed.
It would be really nice to have to some other way of getting the required foods for animals other than harvesting. Reason being is that I play on a private server with a grid of 4 and it seems to miss a lot of the needed resources. I've travelled all over and can't find things like maize, chili, wheat and carrots.
