      Oh come on! There were millions of passenger pigeons, their flocks literally darkened the skies! Come, sample the true flavor of extinction!
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        They weren't naturally that numerous and it was only because of land clearances (first by natives burning forests in order to make more grassland so they would have more deer to hunt but later by white colonists clearing land to farm) that their population took off. Basically it was a classic boom and bust population cycle and the sign of a really unbalanced ecology so it isn't surprising that hunting pressure combined with a natural bust cycle was enough to push the passenger pigeon into extinction.

          ... did everyone here play 'Unchartered Waters: New Horizons'?

            Never heard of it. Could you eat dodo birds in it?

                The Wikipedia page for dodo says that Dutch sailors preferred the taste of pigeon to dodo, so I think you've made the wiser choice.
                I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

                  In the game, as an early 16th century adventurer, you may 'discover' dodos, Steller's Sea Cows, passenger pigeons, giant sloths, quaggas, and, in the high arctic, woolly mammoths.

                  I think I'd go with mammoth ribs... just like the Flintstones did.

                    I liked playing Cities of Gold on C64 back in the day. It let you explore strange new lands, meet people from exotic cultures... And then exterminate them all in the quest for gold!

                      In Unchartered Waters: New Horizons, the only fighting is between various European patriots, pirates, and Turks... similar type of fighting to Sid Meier's Pirates.

                          Oerdin's beaten me to it. Steller's sea cow. It was a herbivore, so no risk of mercury poisoning like with whales or dolphins.

                            Should have exterminated all the other pigeons while they were at it.

                              Ichthyostega. Tastes like badly cooked Swedish preserved fish, judging by the name.
