Akidodo, the martial art for many.
The story goes the Dodo was a stupid defenceless bird. However they invented the art of Akidodo. Notice the black claw ranking of the true master.
Actually there are only two techniques involved in this art.
--One is jumping on top of the attacker, and use the claws to keep hold. Removing the shiny beads from the attacker with your beak will remove the danger. That is, if you get away in time.
--Male dodo birds have tough scales on their elbows, these act as boxing gloves stumping other males while clapping with their beak.
