There used to be a bird called the 'Passenger Pigeon'. It "was once the most abundant bird in North America, numbering around 3 billion, and possibly up to 5 billion." It was hunted to extinction by 1901.
Glad to see people more concerned about bird populations. But, of course, that isn't why this wind-turbine meme is kept circulating.
- hetspookjee 4y agoA story that stood by me is the one of the lyre bird and the hunt to near extinction in the early 1900s for their impressive tail feathers. I cannot find the source on wikipedia anymore nor can I find these conservation efforts in a quick google search, but what stood by me is that 120 years ago people were also concerned about conservation of species.
