Prior to their extinction, dodos ate fallen fruit, especially that of the Tambalacoque tree, originally known by the scientific name of Calvaria major, but now renamed to Sideroxylon grandiflorum. It is also colloquially known as the "dodo tree".
Portuguese sailors said that they saw the Dodos eating fish. They also ate rocks and stones which might have helped them digest food.

Dodos have been extinct since 1681, so they no longer eat anything.

A dodo is extinct, so it does not eat anything. Scientists speculate that when they were alive, they ate fruit, like many of today's birds.

Specifically, the dodos ate fallen fruit, especially that of the Tambalacoque tree, originally known by the scientific name of Calvaria major, but now renamed to Sideroxylon grandiflorum. It is also colloquially known as the "dodo tree".
