The Dodo bird is a large flightless pigeon that found the Island of Maritius a comfy place, as it had no predators, and endless food. And tortoises. All was well, but they became too trusting and lost their fear response, so when some Europeans came, they were killed. However, they have noted that dodo meat tastes horrible [It’s a pigeon- what do you expect??] they also brought predatory animals like dogs and cats, so they also killed a ton of dodos. They were likely also killed as emergency food for expeditions. :[
