The Dodo bird was last seen in 1662, so it went extinct about that time.
the dodo bird lived from 1598-1681 so by the 1700s they were extinct. The reason they died out was because around the time the European settlers came they had no food so they hunted out dodo birds and then just kept hunting them until they became extinct
The dodo bird, like all animals, spent its life time searching for food and reproducing.
That would be in the year AD 1598. The dodo only lived on the island of Mauritius, off the coast of Madagascar. These strange birds were first spotted by Europeans by the Portuguese sailors. Of course, local native peoples no doubt had known about the dodo bird for a LONG time before the Portuguese showed up.

The Dodo went into extinction because of the hunters, who hunted it and then killed the bird. Once upon a time, there lived many Dodo's, but as the years passed vicious killers hunted the bird down. Soon the Dodo was a thought as a real threat and it became extinct. Simple as that! Hope I have answered your question!
Giant birds: The Dodo Bird, The Elephant Bird, and the Argentavis.
the Dodo bird lived for around 17.5 years.
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!
Dodo birds are extinct due to the actions of humans...so, if you see animal now it was alive in the time of the Dodo bird. General consensus is that the last animal died in the late 17th earily-18th century. It was indigenous to Mauritius Island had no fear of humans and couldn't fly so was easily caught. The fact that humans brought dogs, cats, pigs et cetera (that ate eggs, chicks and birds) and destroyed much of their habitat along with consumption of the birds by people led to the extinction of the both the Dodo and the Red Rail (another flightless bird).
No, no person has ever seen, nor caught the bird, its only a myth that has been passed down from generations to generations.
Scientists estimate it was some time between 1688 and 1715.
