What kind of an environment did the dodos live in?

Dodos lived in a unique environment on the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean, characterized by dense forests and a tropical climate. The island's ecosystem was rich in biodiversity, with various plants, fruits, and other wildlife that supported the dodo's diet. Dodos thrived in this isolated habitat, which lacked natural predators, allowing them to nest on the ground and forage for food. Unfortunately, human activities led to their extinction in the late 17th century, disrupting this delicate environment.
