The Dodo may not be Walking around our planet today, but this mysterious bird will be sure to captivate you with our stuffed animal version. This colorful bird, which is the perfect birthday gift for kids, solely inhabited the Island of Mauritius until their extinction in 1681. Because they were flightless, they never left the Island. Curious, fearless, and very comfortable around humans, the extinction of the Dodo was inevitable when hunters came to the island. These birds would build nests on the ground, eat insects, and they could run very fast if needed. They were naturally friendly, so our small stuffed animal version is the perfect representation of a cuddle buddy for kids and adults
