Quick Answer

To tame a bird in Crimson Desert, find a spot with birds (hawks at Greymane Camp on Howling Hill), place your Sotdae of Bond feeder on the ground, and fill it with food — meat for large birds (hawks/ravens), seeds or insects for small ones (sparrows/parrots). Each bite adds +25 trust; at 100 trust you can register the bird as a permanent pet. To tame an owl, set the feeder at night.
