THE DODO BIRD

The Dodo-bird was kind of like an oversized pigeon' back in the 1700's. They were a flightless breed of herbivores, that populated the bay of  Mauritius. Sailors who explored this island'  named the bird: Dodo- because of the silly sounds they made. At times, they would become aggressive and attack settlers; which prompted local militias- to start killing them off, to extinction.
