The dodo bird was particularly clumsy and flightless making them very easy to catch. Due to this fact people would hunt and kill the bird indiscriminately and eat its eggs. This meant the only 200 years after the bird was discovered, it became extinct.

The Dodo lived on a typical island with absolutely no enemies, no predators coming to eat the Dodo. Which means it had no reason to protect itself. Thus it has low defense, cannot fly, etc. So when humans came, they brought dogs and whatever other animals who find the Dodo delicious. And the population soon decreased and brought down to extinction.

The Dodo is extinct because humans invaded their environment, ate them, destroyed their eco system, and introduced predators that the Dodo was not able to handle.
