Where did the last tourist pigeon die?

The last wild pigeon was shot down at 1900.

1909, the number of passenger pigeons was overwhelming, and now only the last three are left. They are fed at the new Sinatra Zoo. Now, we know that there are a certain number of traveling pigeons. When their number decreases, it is impossible to get them back to the original number!

From the overwhelming era of passenger pigeons to today, only 50 years later, we can no longer hear its loud cry. The last passenger pigeon in the zoo was a female pigeon, which was named Martha. Martha died on 19 14 September 1. On the day of its death, all news stations in the United States reported its death.

It took only 50 years for the pigeons to go from overwhelming to nothing. In the 20th century, hundreds of animals disappeared from the earth forever.

Finally, the last pair of travelers left this world after leaving a young pigeon and a few unhatched eggs. People named their chickens "Martha" after Martha Washington, the wife of the founding father of the United States.

19 10, all the pigeons in captivity died one after another, leaving Martha alone in the world.

1 914 at noon on September, 20041,the administrator came to Martha's attic to check and saw Martha squatting on the roof, looking at the sky outside motionless. After cleaning the attic, the librarian left. About 1 hour later, when the administrator came to Martha's attic again, he found that Martha had fallen in the cage and stopped breathing forever. Martha's body was sent to the Smithsonian Institution, which owns the 140 museum, and made into stripped specimens for preservation, but it was not publicly displayed.

On May 1947, 1 1 Sunday, the United States erected a monument for the traveling pigeon in Wye Aluside Park, Wisconsin.
