Yes, the last bird named "Martha" died on September 1, 1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo. The last wild birds died out by 1900. Before this a single flock was said to blacken the sky with birds for days, and a nesting colony in the northeast American forests, could be 20 miles across, and the sheer weight of the birds in the trees could break branches from the trunks of the trees. For more details please see sites listed below.

An underdeveloped economy in which communities use primitive tools and methods to harvest and hunt for food, often resulting in little economic growth. Traditional economies are often found in rural regions with high levels of subsistence farming. Countries that evolve their economies past the traditional level often develop intomarket economies or command economies.

Extinct means that all of them are dead, so you can't be both extinct and endangered. Unfortunately, the passenger pigeon is extinct. The last one died in 1914.
