APAKAH MAKSUD PASSENGER PIGEON dalam CORSICA?
Merpati penumpang
Merpati penumpang atau merpati liar adalah burung Amerika Utara yang sudah pupus. Dinamakan selepas perkataan passager Perancis untuk "lewat," ia adalah sekali burung yang paling banyak di dunia. Ia menyumbang lebih daripada seperempat daripada semua burung di Amerika Utara. Spesies ini hidup dalam kambing biri-biri migrasi yang besar hingga awal abad ke-20, ketika pemburuan dan pemusnahan habitat menyebabkan kematiannya. Satu kawanan pada 1866 di Ontario selatan digambarkan sebagai 1 mi lebar dan 300 mi panjang, mengambil masa 14 jam untuk lulus, dan diadakan lebih daripada 3.5 bilion burung. Jumlah itu, jika tepat, kemungkinan besar akan mewakili sebahagian kecil daripada seluruh populasi pada masa itu. Sesetengah menganggarkan 3 hingga 5 bilion Merpati Penumpang berada di Amerika Syarikat ketika orang Eropah tiba di Amerika Utara. Lain-lain berhujah bahawa spesies itu tidak lazim dalam tempoh pra-Columbus, tetapi jumlah mereka meningkat apabila kehancuran populasi India Amerika oleh penyakit Eropah membawa kepada persaingan yang dikurangkan untuk makanan. Spesies ini menjadi salah satu daripada burung yang paling banyak di dunia pada abad ke-19 yang telah pupus pada awal abad ke-20.
