The dodo is edible, as the Dutch sailors who discovered them used to kill them for food.
the Dodo bird is now actually extinct. they were hunted for food by dutch sailors on the island they were on (they were only on the one island)
the Dodo bird was endangered because sailors had no food on the boats so the decided to eat the big flightless birds.

The dodo was a flightless bird that became extinct when sailors killed them for sport and food. Having no predators where they lived, the dodo had become flightless and trusting enough to fall easy prey to sailors.

,t is presumed that the dodo became flightless because of the ready availability of abundant food sources and a relative absence of predators on Mauritius. the bird was hunted by sailors, their domesticated animals, and invasive species introduced
The Dodo was a large bird and weighed about 20kg (50lb). They had grey feathers and yellow feet. Their big hooked bill was a green/yellow colour. It had short wings that were only stubs. They ate fruit, seeds and nuts. Portuguese sailors said that they saw the Dodos eating fish. They also ate rocks and stones which might have helped them digest food.
the last man to kill a dodo bird didnt know it was the last one on the Earth or even on the island where it residen back in 1689 not 1860.
Oh, friend, it's sad when a bird becomes extinct. In the 1860s, the Passenger Pigeon sadly went extinct due to overhunting and habitat loss. Let's appreciate the beauty of the birds around us today and remember the importance of protecting and cherishing all living creatures.
Dodos certainly are not dangerous now - they have been extinct since the late 17th century. Nor were they dangerous prior to their extinction. They were not afraid of people, and, once they were discovered in 1598, became easy prey for both hungry humans, and introduced species.
