Hi.

I've now written my presentation in French about the
passenger pigeon and its extinction. I've been calling
it "pigeon passager" in French, which means "migratory
pigeon", because I don't know if there is
an official title. I'm assuming that there must be,
since the bird used to live across southern and eastern
Canada.

So does anyone know the official French name for this? I
think I assume that it must be a French-Canadian term,
since there were no passenger pigeons in France.

Please note: My presentation is on Thursday. And it won't
be a big deal if I just use the above term. But I'm
curious to know if there is a better one.

Thanks.
