Passenger pigeons were once found across North America, particularly in the eastern and central regions, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. They inhabited forests, especially those rich in oak and beech trees, where they nested and foraged for food. However, the species was declared extinct in the early 20th century due to overhunting and habitat loss, making them no longer found in the wild today. The last known passenger pigeon, named Martha, died in captivity in 1914.
