Facts

"In America's youth, the most numerous bird on Earth was very likely North America's passenger pigeon. Today, incredibly, all are gone: the passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction by 1914." I found this information on the NRDC website. The NRDC, or Natural Resources Defense Council, is a very large and widely known and trusted environmentalist group. Although some people may not want to trust a group, or the news blindly, there is always room to do research. After looking up "extinction of passenger pigeon" on google, I found numerous sights supports NRDC's claim that passenger pigeons are in fact extinct. Many groups have done research on passenger pigeons, and have found that there are no remaining passenger pigeons living anywhere in the world today. I also did not find any claim that the passenger pigeon is not extinct. The extinction of passenger pigeons is a fact because there is research to support it, and absolutely no debate on the subject.
