Dodo birds are very gentle birds who do not fight rarely. They only live in island of Mauritius in Indian Ocean where climate is warm and humidity. It’s originated from pigeon family. They grow up to 35kg of adult Dodo bird size. They were first discovered in 1505. In around 1961 were hunted by many people so they were getting low in numbers in those periods.

Dodo bird is covered with soft feathers and it’s a plump bird and tail is covered with white plume. It seem most people think they do not have wings because it’s flightless bird and it really difficult to see wings.

The dodo birds legs are short and stubby while it’s color is yellow. It has four toes, three in front and one in back of the leg. Head color is lighter grey than other parts of the body and it has small yellow eyes as well.
