What did dutch setelers use to kill dodo birds?

Dutch settlers primarily used firearms and traps to kill dodo birds. The birds were easy targets due to their lack of fear of humans and inability to fly, making them vulnerable to hunting. Additionally, settlers may have also relied on dogs and other animals to help capture or kill dodos. Overhunting, combined with habitat destruction and introduced species, led to the dodo's extinction by the late 17th century.
