RE: How the Passenger Pigeon was hunted to extinction
DNA takes thousands of years to erode. That's why mammoths are so hard. They died off that long ago. Feathers should still have sufficient DNA . That's why cloning dodos is on the discussion table.
Yea, seems you are right. I was just checking it out, and it seems like both the feathers and the bones from the Passenger Pigeon have enough DNA to sequence and possibly clone it.
