"Solitary species, like Condors, can be brought back from the edge of extinction even from a few breeding pairs. Not so the gregarious Passenger Pigeon."
You may yet see the "resurrection" of the Passenger Pigeon in your lifetime, EustaceTilley. Came across a very interesting TED Talk a while back that focussed on just this topic. It was part of Ted Brand's series of talks entitled, "Are You Ready For De-Extinction?". Found it very interesting - and inspiring.
