Animals that are "extinct" cannot be hunted. When they are extinct, that means there are none of them living.

"Should supposedly extinct birds be hunted for, in an effort to rediscover them?"
Yes, since the rediscovery of a supposedly extinct bird brings it back into play, possibly enriching our lives, and ensuring its part in the general ecology of the world.

If you mean "Should endangered birds be hunted?" - obviously not, but sometimes the control over their habitats is not absolute. Humans who live in the same areas may depend on the animal for their survival or livelihood. In these cases, finding substitutes they can use is crucial, as an extinct species is not going to be available to them.
No, they became extinct a short while before the ice age, they were hunted by humans and the predators we introduced.
none there extinct
The Dodo bird is not an endangered species; it is an extinct species of bird. It is widely known that dodo birds became extinct because of human intervention; they were doing fine, minding their own business, until humans found these to be a good source of food and sustenance. So humans hunted them until their hearts' content, devoured their eggs and fed any remains to the hunting dogs. Dodo birds are extinct - period.
Neither there both extinct
That's the way of life. Most animals have predators. Qite a few birds ARE predators.
Since penguins are not hunted, and their habitats are protected, most species are not endangered. This can happen, however, due to localized climate changes, increased predation by birds or sea lions, or such things as genetic weaknesses (e.g. thickness of egg shells).
Dodo birds didn't just go extinct by themselves they live in an area where there weren't any humans and they had no natural predators. So when man came the dodo birds were hunted for there oils and very tasteful flesh. They were completely wiped out within about one hundred years.
