Some hats even had full (dead) birds on them. It was a short lived trend as many people objected to it.

And because they ran out of birds. Passenger pigeons, for example, became extinct largely (Edit: partly. Also lots of other reasons for the slaughter, plus habitat loss. Thanks Wiki!) because they were turned into hats.
