Passenger Pigeon

Description

This is a birthday gift for my friend Jordan! It's been a long time in coming to him but the wait was worth it.

So, this is a passenger pigeon (with enhanced colors) a bird that is now extinct. It was once very common... so much in fact that it was deemed a pest and people eradicated the species. I remember Jordan telling me when I first met him that he really liked the passenger pigeons and hoped to see them in heaven someday. And instantly I got this idea (4 months before his b-day lol)! So yeah, this is a passenger pigeon in heaven (hence the enhanced coloration)! ^^

This one is definitely a male.  Males have more brightly colored plumage than do females.
