🕊️ RIP Martha (1914)
The last passenger pigeon died today in a Cincinnati zoo.
Once, their flocks blackened the sky—if the stories be true.
Now, they’re only stories.
Another casualty of human excess.
Another ghost we made.📎 [Illustration by Frank Bond, 1920]

Yolcu güvercinlerinin neslinin tükenmesi: Bir zamanlar yaygın olan bu kuş nasıl insanın açgözlülüğünün kurbanı oldu?
Milyonlarca yolcu güvercini çeşitli ustaca yöntemlerle tuzağa düşürüldü ve vuruldu. Trenler dolusu güvercin fıçıları doğuya, New York'a, Washington'a ve Philadelphia'ya restoranlara ve marketlere gönderildi. -
One of the things I will miss about the other place is the amazing deep dive by experts into niche bits of their expertise.
I know there are experts here on the Fediverse. And I know there are keen amateurs, and deep dives.
It's just I don't think I come across amazing things like this thread over here anywhere near as often as I used to over there.
Anyway. Read about #PassengerPigeon numbers in this amazing thread:
