Extinct Passenger Pigeon Feather #00779


This is the feather of an extinct passenger pigeon!

The famous and ill-fated passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is an extinct species of pigeon endemic to North America. Once numbering in the billions, it was hunted to extinction in the early 1900s. Passenger pigeon items are rare and highly coveted in collections. After all, they’re not making any more!
Sourced from the famous @taxidermyauction on Instagram, this is a genuine feather that fell from one of their mounts during restoration. It has been attractively displayed in a gold-rimmed frame against a dark green background. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
This specimen is a legal bird feather – it is not from an ESA- or MBTA-listed species and is legal to sell and possess. US sales only, sorry!
