Martha, the last surviving passenger pigeon, is being taken out of storage and being put on public d

(18 Jun 2014) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus012315 It was the moment that humanity learned we had the awesome power to erase an entire species off the face of the Earth in what was the scientific equivalent of a blink of an eye: The passenger pigeon went from billions of birds to extinct before our very eyes. Martha, a red-eyed grey-and-brown bird that became famous as the last surviving passenger pigeon, is being taken out of the file cabinets of history in a new Smithsonian Institution exhibit this month, reminding the public of her death and what man did a century ago. A new scientific study this week shows how pigeon populations fluctuated wildly, but how people ultimately killed off the species. And some geneticists are now working on the longshot hope of reviving the passenger pigeon from leftover DNA in stuffed birds. For the last 15 years, she has been in a drab metal filing cabinet in the bowels of the Smithsonian, stuck on the same stick with an older stuffed unrelated pigeon named George. On Monday, they were separated, George was put back in storage and a prettied up Martha was ready for a comeback. An exhibit on her extinction and the 100th anniversary starts June 24 at the Smithsonian.
