Answer with Explanation:

The "passenger pigeon" used to be North America's most popular bird. Their population even reached<em> 3 billion</em> (or even more). They always traveled together. Their decline in number was noted in the<em> 19th century</em>. People became interested in hunting them for food because<em> they were relatively cheap and tasty</em> . They were also a<em> great source of protein</em>. It was easy to hunt them down although they could fly very fast because<u> their flocks were huge in number.</u> Some people killed them because <em>they didn't want the birds ruining their crops</em>. Their<u> nesting grounds</u> were also disturbed, which ultimately drove them away from the forests. People were overkilling them, and this sped up with the <em>advancement of technology</em>. The number of pigeons killed outnumbered the newborn pigeons, and after decades of hunting them down, their number dwindled with the<em> last one passing away in </em><em>1914.</em>
