"The passenger pigeon or wild pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is an extinct species of pigeon that was endemic to North America. Its common name is derived from the French word passager, meaning "passing by", due to the migratory habits of the species. The scientific name also refers to its migratory characteristics. The morphologically similar mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) was long thought to be its closest relative, and the two were at times confused, but genetic analysis has shown that the genus Patagioenas is more closely related to it than the Zenaida doves. "
"Passenger pigeons were hunted by Native Americans, but hunting intensified after the arrival of Europeans, particularly in the 19th century. Pigeon meat was commercialized as cheap food, resulting in hunting on a massive scale for many decades. There were several other factors contributing to the decline and subsequent extinction of the species, including shrinking of the large breeding populations necessary for preservation of the species and widespread deforestation, which destroyed its habitat. A slow decline between about 1800 and 1870 was followed by a rapid decline between 1870 and 1890. In 1900, the last confirmed wild bird was shot in southern Ohio.[2][4] The last captive birds were divided in three groups around the turn of the 20th century, some of which were photographed alive. Martha, thought to be the last passenger pigeon, died on September 1, 1914, at the Cincinnati Zoo. The eradication of the species is a notable example of anthropogenic extinction. "
There is a movie about the liberation of Rome culminating in an Easter dinner.
the American (played by Charleston Heston) has messenger pigeons that he is supposed to use to send messages to his team (he is a spy).
Food is very scarce.
the spoiler is that the Easter dinner is not chicken . . .
it was a comedy, which is hard considering how grime Rome was in 1944. Rome was liberated on June 6, 1944

I was able to watch this movie for free on youtube.
they make jokes about him in 10 commandments in that film. It was made at around the same time.
the war party demanded that there be constant war.
He made the cabal make israel give back land
they don't like giving, they like to take and destroy and 'settle'
he got a GRANT of $156 million?
helps be be a cabal descended marxist, is my guess.
'poet'
'cyclist'
is this a joke?
if it's real it does suggest that someone in government isn't caring about fiscal responsiblity.
It would be nice to see if it's real, who that was related to the person approved the grant, and get them all sent off to prison for fraud, waste, and abuse.
