Is a passenger pigeon the same as a messenger pigeon?

Answer:
No.
The Passenger Pigeon was a species of North American pigeon that was incredibly numerous before white settlers arrived. Unfortunately due to excessive over hunting its numbers dwindled from over 6 billion to 1 in around 100 years. A messenger pigeon is a pigeon trained to carry a message to a specific destination, and isn't a species so much as a description.

Hope that's helpful!
