What could possibly go wrong?
The horrors! Of course they'd be listed as an endangered species until their numbers increase to a self sustaining level.
Extinct passenger pigeon may fly again The next big thing in finance could be in the car washing sector! Ah yes, nothing says the great outdoors like a flock of birds so numerous they darken the sky for hours in passage, taking a crap every 10 minutes!

Sure hope that they get that gene-reconstruction right. Wouldn't be good to look up and see a sky full of passenger pigeons the size of Volkswagens...particularly right after they had a meal...

Here's an appealing tidbit from Wikipedia!
"The bird is believed to have played a large ecological role in the composition of presettlement forests of eastern North America.[34] For instance, forests while the Passenger Pigeon was extant were dominated by white oaks.[34] This species germinated in the fall, therefore producing acorns during the spring to be devoured and spread by the pigeons.[34] The absence of the Passenger Pigeon's seed dispersal may have led to the modern dominance of red oaks.[34] At roosting sites, few plants grew for years after the pigeons left.[34] Additionally, the immense amount of dung present at these sites increased both the frequency and intensity of forest fires.[34]" Gotta love the last line. The aroma of a wildfire burning its way through a immense amount of dung would truly be an olfactory delight. Mmmm, mmmm, tasty!
