Passenger Pigeons were once the most abundant bird on earth. They were members of the dove family and lived in North America. They have been extinct since 1914 when the last one died in the Cincinnati Zoo.
The Passenger Pigeon built their nests in colonies. They don't really know exactly how they built them, but they do know that they built them out of, twigs, leaves, rotten branches, mud, and sand. Passenger Pigeons are now extinct so no one can really see anymore how they built their nests. But God can surely bring them back if he wants to. So be on the look out.
It looked like a large version of the mourning dove, with a bluish gray cast over the upper body.
