In September of 1914, Martha, the last-known living Passenger Pigeon, died at the Cincinnati Zoo. Her death at age 29 after a lifetime in captivity marked the disappearance of her once-abundant species from the world—and made Passenger Pigeons synonymous with the extinction of species at human hands.
But what happened? Step into the Museum’s Ornithology Collections to learn more.

The passenger pigeon became extinct on September 1, 1914, when Martha, the last known individual of the species, died at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Great video with a really important message. Stopping habitat loss is CRITICAL to preventing extinction of our native species. Protecting the last reserves of wild land we have left will prevent a full repeat of the passenger pigeon. There are so many beautiful birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians remaining that need our help.

Shameful. 😢 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - the best way to ensure any wild animal/species continues to exist is for them to avoid and fear humans. One of the simplest ways we can ensure a species continues existing is by not being friendly to or interacting with wild animals when possible and, if necessary, helping to INSTILL a fear of humans in those we must interact with.
Us interacting with wild animals (whether it’s because of usefulness like with passenger pigeons or genuine innocent curiosity) often means they’re more likely to stop existing sooner. It’s heartbreaking but true.
I hope we can fix that one day

0:05 That's a mesmerising taxidermy. It looks like it's alive!! Who made them??

Now this is something they should be bringing back not freaking dire wolves where they completely ignored that they're closer genetically to bears than dogs and still used dog stuff as the base. Edit another thing to note is passenger pigeons needed huge numbers to feel comfortable with breeding and no zoo could support it back then

Humans? Learn a lesson that doesn't confirm we can do anything, anywhere, for any reason, and screw everyone and everything else? No? How much earth ecosystem are we destroying a minute now? Who cares? We got Trump, Putin, and billionaires who cannot ever be satisfied with enough. It was a good run, but it's racing to a scorched earth ending. Sorry pigeons. 😢

these are SO MUCH more beautiful than pidgeons. notably their tail feathers are quite lovely, unlike modern urban rock pidgeons you find in city. probably they did not like urban areas and were more sensistive( morning doves, are this way, another type of pidgeon found at times in cities, they have shorter legs and spook quite easily ) . urban pidgeons have some beauty to them but on average, if you watch them, you will observe their crude behavior in flocking groups when pursuing large concentrations of street food. birds, like people, probably get stupider in proportion to the more of them are forced into a crowded flock, at least, beyond a certain density and scale.

Humans killed, ate, canned, fried, boiled, jerkied, you name it then destroyed their habitat. Flocks were so BIG they would take hours and sometimes days to do their flyover.

I think 'humans' is too broad of a term here. Just a reminder that humans had been living in in North America for thousands of years and the passenger pigeon did just fine. It was European sellers and their descendants who drove them to extinction.

Misleading and incomplete. Genetic studies indicate this bird species had a boom or bust strategy that would breed until populations were so large resources they exploited would decline and their population would crash. Also, the birds nesting strategy involved massive communal nests kind of like fish schooling in such vast numbers predators could not eat them all. Combine that with this entire family of bird species startle response is tonic immobility (freezing and remaining motionless) made them easy prey (my city has massive dove populations and unlike most birds they are regularly hit by cars as they freeze instead of moving away from on coming traffic). Finally, this birds numbers were at a peak because the natives that hunted them were displaced. It is also probable that introduced starlings and rock pigeons were beginning to compete with them. So it’s a host of perfect storm factors with massive communal nesting strategies that led to their demise.

I wonder if they can get dna from them and bring them back

Yeah well we’ve got waaay too many regular pigeons around here

If only we could wipe out invasive species in North America, like the house sparrow or the European starling, as easily as we can wipe out native species, like the passenger pigeon or the ivory-billed woodpecker.

A very foreboding message for people of European descent. Sure, there are millions of us now, but if low birth rates continue, we'll be gone in the blink of an eye. Same thing applies to East Asians, even though there are well over a billion of them, as they also have extremely low birth rates currently.

Such a shame, not only the loss of a major species but a useful one too.
