Page "Passenger Pigeon" Paragraph 1
from
Wikipedia
Some estimate that there were 3 billion to 5 billion Passenger Pigeons in the United States when Europeans arrived in North America.
Others argue that the species had not been common in the Pre-Columbian period, but their numbers grew when devastation of the American Indian population by European diseases led to reduced competition for food.
