Correct! Even though the dodo itself had an awful taste, it's eggs still made up for a good meal. Sadly for these birds, the European vessels were crammed with rats, dogs, pigs and cats which had an 'all you can eat feast' on the dodo-nests once they got to land.
The living dodo's suffered little harm, but almost every egg they produced got devoured, killing the whole species within half a century

Didn't know that.
interesting.
There was once a guy who lived in the country side and his pet cat would keep bringing home feathers. everytime it came back to the house the cat had more feathers. The guy didn't recognice the feathers as any he had seen before so he took some to a place that could identify them. To his shock they also had never seen them before and he was told that he had discovered a new speices of bird. He took the experts to his house in an aim to find these birds only to find loads of dead bird's. His cat had killed the entire species and that is the only case of one animal compleatly killing a whole species.
If only i could remember the name of the bird or place 😠
That is a true story by the way 😄
