Question

Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius)

How do you go from being the most common bird species in North America to being nothing more than a sad footnote in American history?

Well, it helps if you taste good.

While passenger pigeons were hunted as a crop nuisance for years, it wasn't until pigeon meat got popular that things took a turn for the worst. It also sure didn't help that westward-bound settlers were chopping down the birds' habitat at an alarming pace.

Over less than 100 years, the species that once blackened the sky as it roamed in flocks numbering in the billions was suddenly in a lot of trouble.

The last passenger pigeon died in a Cincinnati zoo in 1914. Her name was Martha.

Say whether these statements are TRUE or FALSE.

The last passenger pigeon was named Martha.
