Answer:

Over-harvesting of the birds, combined with habitat loss and a losing competition with the newly introduced animals, was too much for the dodos to survive. The last dodo was killed in 1681, and the species was lost forever to extinction.

Dodo birds were flightless birds that were gray in color, about 3 feet tall, and weighed 22-40 pounds. The dodo bird lived on the island of Mauritius. They had large hooked beaks. They were flightless birds because they really did not have any predators to fly away from on the island.

The dodo may instead have used its large, hooked beak in territorial disputes. Since Mauritius receives more rainfall and has less seasonal variation than Rodrigues, which would have affected the availability of resources on the island, the dodo would have less reason to evolve aggressive territorial behaviour.

Over-harvesting of the birds, combined with habitat loss and a losing competition with the newly introduced animals, was too much for the dodos to survive. The last dodo was killed in 1681, and the species was lost forever to
extinction.

The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662.

Here we use a statistical method to establish the actual extinction time of the dodo as 1690, almost 30 years after its most recent sighting. Its last confirmed sighting was in 1662, although an escaped slave claimed to have seen the bird as recently as 1674.

Well for one I think their immaturity didn't help the situation.  Their love was a lot like puppy love in the sense that it was their first time dealing with a relationship and therefore didn't know how to handle issues that were thrown at them.  At the same time, some of the other characters may disagree because "young love is the best love" in the sense that it is pure and innocent.
