Why cant dodos fly?

Answer 1

The dodo could not fly, as it was quite a heavy bird for its size, and its wings were far too small to support it in flight. Flight was not a requirement for the dodo in its habitat.

The dodo became extinct during the 17th century. The last known specimen was believed to have died sometime between 1662 and 1690.
