The Story of Martha the Last Passenger Pigeon - 110th Anniversary Tribute 

@@ZomBeeNature I didn’t think about her being faded from the light of the display, that’s interesting! And pretty sad. :( I would love to think that there’s a small flock out there somewhere - I catch myself looking up, hoping to see one. Hopefully that the mourning dove isn’t actually a mourning dove!

@@GoneButNotForgottenFiles-ql9iy I see there is a color picture of her from 2015 on her Wikipedia page, and I think I was misremembering her. It was late in the day just before the museum closed and the lighting was pretty bad with them trying chase people out. I didn't know what color she was supposed to be but thought she would be redder underneath and maybe red or purplish on her head or neck. So the combination of bad lighting and everything made me misremember her as more grey and colorless, but she wasn't. Just not reddish the way I imagined. The Wikipedia page also says she is on display with a gorilla skull (?) now until 2025, so people can still see her for a while. Yeah, I hear a Mourning Dove and it always seems to be alone, and I wonder if maybe it's not a Mourning Dove. 🤔

@@ZomBeeNature Well, if I remember correctly, it was the males that had the brightly-colored chest feathers. Females’ were more on the lighter orange side. ^^

@@GoneButNotForgottenFiles-ql9iy I'm sure you are right.

@@anthonyj7989 Oof, yeah a LOT of species were lost in Australia and the surrounding islands. :( It’s cool that my video reached that far across the globe though! Ty.
