I have always loved the quirky charm of the dodo bird. Their whimsical appearance and gentle nature make them a wonderful project. Even though we can no longer enjoy these wonderful creatures in nature, does not mean we cannot appreciate their company. You too can use a dodo crochet pattern to add a touch of fun to your home decor.
What is a Dodo Bird?
The dodo bird was a flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It had a big beak, a round body, and small wings. The dodo became extinct in the late 1600s because of human activity and animals brought to the island. Even though it no longer exists, the dodo is still famous for its unique and funny appearance.
