Definition
A genus of extinct passenger pigeons, particularly the famous North American species that was hunted to extinction.
Etymology
From Greek 'ekto-' (outside) + 'pistis' (faith/trust), though the etymology is debated; possibly from 'ektopizo' (to be out of place). A scientific taxonomic name.
Kelly Says
Ectopistes migratorius, the passenger pigeon, was once so numerous that flocks darkened the sky for hours—then humans killed them all in just 50 years, making it one of history's biggest extinctions!
