There have been several extinction events in the Earth's history. Scientists have determined (using data determined from the Earth itself and found using the latest equipment we have been able to manufacture) that some of the major extinction events have been caused by large asteroids colliding with the Earth.
When a large asteroid collides with the planet, the dust and water vapor raised by the collision can occlude the sunlight from reaching the planet. When this happens, the vegetal food (plants) are the first to die. If the occlusion lasts long enough from a major strike, then the animals who depended on that food, dies out as well. Then the animals who preyed on those animals will die out.
Another type of extinction event MAY have happened much more recently in our planet's history.
Scientists have found that as the last ice age was ending, dust from possibly the Sahara desert was blown into the atmosphere, occluding the sun again, causing widespread death to major flora and fauna about 11,000 years ago. Some parts of North America was buried in up to 800 feet of new soil and debris which sifted down on the continent. Animals such as the Woolly Mammoth and the Saber Tooth Cat could have been some of the most recent animal extinctions caused by natural occurrences on the planet.
In the rainforest, many birds face extinction. Also, many birds in wetlands are endangered.
dogs and rats
Extinction happens when an endangered species is completely wiped out by human activity or natural disaster for example:- the Ice Age when the mammoths and the other animals which went extinct at the same time
Many kinds of bear, wild cat, exotic parrots, many birds of prey, monkey, and some otter species.
Unique is the Curacao deer, Bina (currently threatened with extinction), 16 species of lizards, 168 different birds and many tropical fish.

There are many species of birds that are close to extinction in this world. Here are three of them:Ethiopian larkGalapagos finchGorgeted puffleleg
The Tahiti Monarch and the Madagascar Pochard
The dodo birds were hunted to extinction by people as they were used as a tasty snack.
The cat was responsible for killing the dodo birds. it was taught that the last group of dodo birds lived around a lighthouse it was soon found that the cat had eaten every dodo bird left. but it was only one.
No. Goldfinches are quite common birds, in no danger of extinction.
