The dodo bird, native to the island of Mauritius, is one of the most iconic examples of extinction caused by human activity. While the last confirmed sighting of a dodo was in 1662, the bird's story has captivated humanity for centuries. Despite extensive records of its existence, the dodo's actual call was never recorded scientifically. Historical accounts describe its call as a soft, melancholic sound, evoking a sense of primal connection to the natural world. The loss of the dodo's voice symbolizes the irreversible impact of extinction on our auditory heritage.
