passenger pigeon

Join us for the story of the Passenger Pigeon - America’s most prolific bird that flocked in the billions until we discovered they were easy to kill and also delicious. 

Within 100 years, they went from blocking out the sun with their flocks to being totally extinct. 

Learn their history and the possibility of their future with de-extinction technology. 

Listener poll: Should we bring back dinosaurs? Farz says 100% yes, Taylor says we’ve been through this, and it’s never a good idea.

This month, we’re talking about an animal whose relatives are familiar to most. Unfortunately, these animals were driven to extinction. However, they were around in the 20th century so we have a substantial amount of information on them. They could hold the key for how we can bring animals back from being extinct. So let’s hop in a time machine, as we travel back to the early 1900s to talk about passenger pigeons.
