Lives, Habitats & Pictures of the Extinct Birds
Extinct Birds of North America is a
list of known birds that have disappeared from the North American continent since records have been kept.
Most of the recorded extinctions were caused by mankind, either by excessive hunting or by their loss
of habitat through farming, forestry and tourism. All of these factors lead to the changing of their
environment and the birds not being able to adapt.
One of the examples is the Passenger Pigeon, once seen in great numbers. It went into extinction in the early 1900's, due to excessive hunting of the bird.
Here is a list of known extinct birds and other birds not seen or recorded in many years.
