Birdorable 200: Dodo

July 30, 2009 in New Birds, Pigeons & Doves and Birdorable Bonanza 2009 with 10 comments

This post was last updated on November 13, 2010

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:

Hahah the vintage drawing is hilarious and adorable. An extinct birdorable is a really cool choice for bird 200!! Any chance you'll do a passenger pigeon sometime?
