Dodo birds were Dutch birds. They don't live in our world anymore because the Dutch pirates and community ate them. Dodo birds could not fly and they were giant birds weighing 25kg or more, at least seven times the weight of any pigeon which can fly. Dodo lived on Mauritius island, in the Indian ocean.The island were discovered by the Portuguese. But soon, French and English ships now stopped there.Sailors used to kil dodos for food. Another extinct which led to the rapid extinction of the dodos was the fact that pigs and monkeys factor ate the dodo eggs, and the pigs killed off the parent birds. the fact that the dodo was a flightless bird was an obvious disadvantage. the dodo bird survived until 1681,and is multiplied extinct. thank you for reading. I'm nine years old.
