Animals and birds become extinct mainly due to over-hunting, loss of habitat and induced factors like alien species and pollution and then there are some birds that just can't adapt to changes in their environment.

They were either hunted to extinction by man or exterminated by animals introduced to their habitat by man. Because they were flightless, all nested on or very close to the ground - back in the days of sailing ships pretty much all of the animals that man introduced around the world will eat eggs - pigs, rats, mongoose, etc etc..

Animals aren't the only ones that can come extinct, almost every living can. When something becomes extinct it's when it's species of it's kind dies out. So how do they become extinct? Scientists have varies reasons on why: they can be hunted by humans and die out, global warming, littering, wiping out their land, a man made or naturual disasters, a crash on the food chain and them killing each other. There are many reasons on why animals become extinct and the one thing we can do is make sure they don't.

The Dodo, though perfectly adapted to being flightless, became extinct because they were hunted by man. The Passenger Pigeon was also hunted to extinction. So, either a bird species become extinct due to hunting by man, environmental changes happening too quickly for the birds to adapt to, or the destroying of their nesting and feeding places.

Animals can become extinct because of environmental issues, whether it's due to a natural disaster or because people have removed their habitat. They can also be hunted to extinction.
