General Method Description

The warped terrorbird is another monster that developed a reputation as being not worth killing -- even on Slayer assignments -- because of its difficulty and poor drops. However, Jagex has updated its drops to make them actually quite decent, and the difficulty factor can be easily managed if you have high skill levels and know how best to fight them. They are aggressive and have multiple attack forms, so one key to fighting them properly is to go to the very end of the Poison Waste Sewers dungeon, where there's a place where you can fight just one at a time.

You could use a combat familiar here, but they don't really increase kill speed very much, and a beast of burden lets you take home much more value in drops. Don't underestimate the value of some of the drops these birds provide -- feathers and swamp tar quickly add up, and even the gnome food items are worth about 1k a piece.
