Passenger pigeons died out mostly because they were so abundant that they were hunted on a massive scale to provide inexpensive meat for slaves and the poor. Eventually, this overhunting combined with habitat loss due to extensive settlement of the West led to their extinction. The last known passenger pigeon, named Martha, died in 1914.
Passenger pigeons were mainly a bird of eastern forests, and were slaughtered on their breeding grounds for food. There were still plenty of forests left for them to exist, but as the numbers dwindled, the birds sometimes refused to nest, seemingly requiring huge numbers to stimulate the breeding rituals.
