Oh, friend, it's sad when a bird becomes extinct. In the 1860s, the Passenger Pigeon sadly went extinct due to overhunting and habitat loss. Let's appreciate the beauty of the birds around us today and remember the importance of protecting and cherishing all living creatures.

The Dodo bird.
The dodo bird became extinct in the early 1600's. The Triceratops became extinct long before that.
The Dodo Bird
The Dodo bird was last seen in 1662, so it went extinct about that time.
One extinct bird is the Dodo, which was native to the island of Mauritius. It became extinct in the late 17th century due to habitat destruction, hunting, and predation from introduced species. Efforts to conserve endangered bird species are critical to prevent further extinctions.
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.
The Diatryma was a human sized and heavily built flightless bird. The Diatryma became extinct around 2 million years ago.
The Aphanapteryx is a highly close relative of the Dodo bird. Not only because it comes from the same family but it also; only existed on Mauritius Island, was a flightless bird, and is now extinct!
The passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) started to become extinct in the mid 1800s and the last surviving specimen died in 1914. The very last one was a female named Martha who died at Cincinnati Zoo at about 1:00 pm on September 1, 1914. There is a wonderful exhibit at the Zoo honoring Martha.Other less-known species that may have become extinct during the decade include:- Kioea (Chaetoptila angustipluma) of Hawaii- Virgin Islands Screech owl (Megascops nudipes newtoni)- Finsch's Duck (Chenonetta finschi) from New Zealand
