DODO
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 phrase "Dead as a dodo" refers to the extinct dodo bird. Native to Mauritius, the dodo became extinct in the late 17th century due to hunting and habitat destruction by humans.
If an animal in a ecosystem chain became extinct - the WHOLE ecosystem would collapse because, believe it or not, every single species counts. For example, if a bird species in a forest became extinct - everything that ate the bird would die without their "food" and everything that ate them would die and so on and so forth.

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 last living bird was "Martha" a female living in captivity at the Cincinnati Zoo. She died on September 1, 1914. But the wild population is believed to have died off before the year 1900. For more details, please see sites listed below.
