6.One animal which has died out was once a kind of bird in large numbers in North America:the passenger pigeon.The passenger pigeon bred(繁殖)in the eastern part of the U.S.and Canada and often migrated(迁徙) to the southern U.S.during the winter months.The bird's name didn't come from the migrations but from its movements in search of food.The passenger pigeons were social birds,traveling in amazingly large numbers from millions to one or two billion.Passing overhead,a large group of birds could darken the sky like storm clouds for a period of hours.A hundred or more pairs of pigeons often nested in the same tree,each female laying a single egg.The birds lived mainly on wild seeds and nuts,but sometimes many of them would storm down onto a field or a garden and eat everything in sight.
While large numbers of passenger pigeons were recorded in the late nineteenth century,the population decreased rapidly,and the last wild bird was shot in 1904.The sudden disappearance of the bird remains a mystery,but an explanation is found in its habit of nesting and moving in large numbers.Farmers,who considered them pests,found it easy to catch hundreds at a time in nets.Also,as passenger pigeons were tasty game birds,market hunters shot hundreds of thousands on their nesting grounds.By 1900the passenger pigeon was already rare.
21.What made the passenger pigeon unique(独特的)?D
