The two behaviors that contributed to the extinction of the dodo bird are:
A: the ground where birds build their nests was taken over to build homes and buildings for the settlers.
B: the birds were isolated on an island.
These factors led to habitat destruction and limited the dodo's ability to thrive and reproduce. Dodo birds did not have the capacity to fly, but they did have wings; their inability to escape from predators and human activity was a significant factor in their extinction. The claim about female dodo birds laying many eggs (D) does not directly contribute to their extinction as a cause.
