The extinct passenger pigeon is not seen as a whole as it does not exist. The name Mimcio is derived from the Ojibwe word omiimiikaa meaning “abundant with wild pigeons”. In the spring, the birds would migrate to Ontario from the southern United States in flocks so great that the sky over the town of Mimico would be darkened for hours, even days at a time. The forests bordering Mimico Creek were a nesting place and trees would host up to 20 nests of birds, with branches breaking due to the weight of the birds. The passenger pigeon was a significant part of the Indigenous peoples’ diet and they were selectively hunted, smoked, dried, and preserved for the winter. At the time of European settlement, de-forestation removed the nesting grounds and the birds were first hunted to excess to feed the growing populations and hen overhunted for sport. The very last passenger pigeon, named Martha, died in captivity in the Cincinnati Zoo on September 1, 1914.

Mimico was inspired by Nazia Habiba. Access to the Passenger Pigeon specimens was provided by Mark Peck and the Royal Ontario Museum.
