Issue:

Ensuring a dodo maintains a healthy and active lifestyle.

Cause:

The dodo may have been lounging around too much or needs more physical activity to stay fit and healthy.

Resolution:

Follow the Dodo Fitness Plan to help your dodo stay active and maintain a healthy diet:

  1. Morning Stretch and Flap

    • Activity: Start the day with gentle stretching and wing flapping. Encourage your dodo to stretch its wings wide and give a few good flaps.
    • Duration: 10 minutes
    • Tip: Play some relaxing bird sounds to set the mood.

  2. Waddle Walks

    • Activity: Take your dodo for a brisk waddle around the yard or park. Aim for a good pace to get that heart rate up.
    • Duration: 20 minutes
    • Tip: Bring along some birdseed to reward your dodo for a job well done.

  3. Peckercise

    • Activity: Scatter some treats around and let your dodo peck at them. This will engage their natural foraging instincts and provide a fun workout.
    • Duration: 15 minutes
    • Tip: Hide the treats in different spots each day to keep things interesting.

  4. Dodo Dance Party

    • Activity: Turn up the music and have a dance-off with your dodo. Encourage them to bob, hop, and shake those tail feathers!
    • Duration: 10 minutes
    • Tip: Choose upbeat tunes that will get both you and your dodo grooving.

  5. Obstacle Course

    • Activity: Set up a mini obstacle course with items like small hurdles, tunnels, and perches. Guide your dodo through the course to build agility and coordination.
    • Duration: 15 minutes
    • Tip: Use colorful objects to make the course more visually stimulating.

  6. Dodo Yoga

    • Activity: Introduce your dodo to the calming practice of yoga. Help them perform gentle poses like the "Feathered Warrior" and "Bird of Paradise." This will improve flexibility and reduce stress.
    • Duration: 15 minutes
    • Tip: Use a soft mat and play soothing music. End with a relaxing "Nest Pose."

  7. Afternoon Nap

    • Activity: After all that exercise, it's time for a well-deserved nap. Create a cozy spot for your dodo to rest and recharge.
    • Duration: 30 minutes
    • Tip: A soft blanket and a quiet corner will do wonders.

  8. Evening Peck and Play

    • Activity: End the day with some light pecking games. Use a toy or a treat dispenser to keep your dodo entertained and mentally stimulated.
    • Duration: 10 minutes
    • Tip: Rotate toys regularly to keep things fresh and exciting.

  9. Healthy Diet

    • Activity: Ensure your dodo is eating a balanced diet. Include a mix of seeds, fruits, and veggies to keep them healthy and happy.
    • Tip: Avoid giving them too many treats, even if they give you those adorable dodo eyes.

Remember, consistency is key! Stick to this plan, and your dodo will be the picture of health in no time. Plus, you'll have a blast bonding with your feathered friend along the way. Happy training!
