BonanzaWe had a lot of fun doing the Birdorable Bonanza last month and will definitely do it again once. Until our next bonanza we’ll continue to add new species on a regular basis as usual. We still have quite a few suggestions and special requests on our list of birds to do. Here’s a Birdorable retrospective of the 17 birds we added. Which one is your favorite? 184: Scarlet Ibis  We present you the 200th Birdorable bird: the Dodo. We often get requests for new birds to make and the Dodo has been one of the most requested ones. The Dodo was a large flightless bird in the Columbidae family, related to pigeons and doves. It was found on the island of Mauritius and has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century. It is something of an icon of extinction as it occurred in modern times. Our Birdorable Dodo is based on reconstructions of the bird that can be found in museums around the world. We usually show a real photo of the bird here, but with this extinct bird we could find only drawings like this one:
