How much did a passenger pigeon weigh?

Answer 1

Passenger pigeons, now extinct, were a member of the dove family. They were once the most numerous bird on the planet with flocks numbering in the billions. People hunted them for food. As the demand grew, teams would follow the flocks from place to place, not giving them time to nest By the late 1890's, hunting ceased because the few thousands that were left had scattered and it was no longer worthwhile to hunt them. But the birds disappeared because as colonial nesters, they needed large flocks to breed or they didn't try to nest. The last one recorded in the wild was in 1900, the last one on earth, "Martha", died in an Ohio zoo in 1914.
