What was the dodo diet?

The dodo is an extinct flightless bird. Its typical diet is not accurately known though studies of subfossil plant material in their gizzards and crop and examination of their beaks suggested a primarily frugivorous diet. Seeds of the tambalacoque or Calvaria major formed a large part of its diet. It is also likely that the dodo also used its powerful hooked beak to root in the soil for tubers, bulbs, roots, nuts, insects, crustaceans, tortoise eggs and carrion.
