Some helpful tips:
1) Take the Sylvan Falls flight point in Highmountain. You will find a few of these wild pets in Nightwatcher's Perch at:
/way Highmountain 27 56 Spiketail BeaverThis area is a PvP zone, so watch your back. Kill any critters you see to get more wild pets to spawn. There are also a few at 31, 63 on the way to the PvP zone, but I did not have as much luck there. You can find some Beavers at Nesingwary Camp, and some near the waters that circle around Thunder Totem. Make a macro to help you.
/tar Spiketail Beaver2) Quest credit is buggy right now. Sometimes I got credit without even using the Hatchling. Sometimes I didn't get credit even when he soloed the fight. Just keep at it until you get three wins. They should take less than 2 minutes per fight.
3) Here's my team that is very effective at killing the critters and beasts you will encounter. You may see an occasional aquatic, but your Hatchling will decimate them:
Clockwork Gnome (1,2,2)
Kun'Lai Runt (1,1,1)
Snowfeather Hatchling (2,2,1)*** BONUS TIP: Most of these Falcosaur quests award 16,000+ XP to characters over level 100. So accept the quest from your Hatchling while on your main (the quest wont be offered below level 110) but then turn the completed quest in on one of your lowbie alts to get the quest credit and xp. Also, probably a bug, but you never know... You can then use another level 110 alt to pick up new quests from your hatchlings. It seems that only one quest was supposed to be offered by each hatchling per day, but using alts will allow you to complete several quests in one day.

After trying round the water areas for a long time with no luck, I went off to do a pvp quest nearby instead and then found 3 spiketail beavers there easily. The entrance to the pvp area I took was at 27,56.
No, Mr. Smarty Pants Grammar Nazi, I meant "decimate." You are using a very outdated definition of the term, as the origin comes from "decem", the Latin word for ten. It was used to refer to tithing ten percent of one's income to the church. NO ONE uses it for that meaning anymore. It has long since come to mean a significant amount more than ten percent. Websters Dictionary says: "dec·i·mate ˈdesəˌmāt/Submit verb 1. kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of." So thanks for playing, but you're incorrect. What would you like to debate next?

Description
<Your snowfeather hatchling has been interested in following beaver tracks recently. It must have found a new species to prey upon.>
