"The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. It stood about a meter (3.3 feet) tall, weighing about 20 kilograms (44 lb). The dodo lost the power of flight because food was abundant and predators were absent on Mauritius. It was related to pigeons and doves, and its closest relative was the Rodrigues Solitaire, which is also extinct." --Wikipedia

It reminds me of the kakapo giant parrot from New Zealand (In Endangerous, there seem to be a lot of references to extinct NZ birds, and I KNOW NZ has some art or whatever connection to NZ) that lost the ability to fly, as many of our native birds here. Like the kiwi. But aparently, the kakapo deludes itself thinking it can fly, and climbs trees and jumps off them trying to fly. Yeah this can be considered spam, I'm just saying that episode reminded me of the kakapo. Especially when the dodos jumped off the bell tower thing of the zoo and commited suicide.
