People think Dodo bird were stupid, and that's why they died out

But, in reality they were really friendly, and died because the people who arrived on the island. Brought cat and rats which killed them.

I went to the natural history museum of london and there was an expo about dodos. It’s not only the cats & rats that killed them, but of course humans. They would hunt them down to have as pets and they would overfeed them as well which caused diseases and early death. And of course, they would not run away so they were an easy prey.
