The first Europeans in the 1600s, had no noticeable effect on passenger pigeons. It was not until later, in the 19th century when overhunting and changes to their habitat, caused a seemingly sudden collapse of passenger pigeons. The passenger pigeons, by eyewitness report, were in such numbers as to blot out the sun by their overhead passage.

∙ 14y agoThe species were driven to the brink of extinction during the 1800s by commerical hunting without regulations or consideration for the future of the bird. They were hunted until the flocks were scattered across North America, and the numbers of birds so small, that researchers believe the process needed to trigger breeding instincts were lost. So, the few birds left didn't reproduce at a rate to build the population, and they became extinct, when the final bird died in capitivity in 1914. Her name was Martha, and she died in the Cincinnati Zoo.
