What they lack in challenge though they partly make-up for in looks.

I'd like to see more Pigeon shots. They get no respect.

In 1914 the Passenger Pigeon had been shot into extinction, so your wish has

They can't rebuild it, they have to make it from scratch. My guess?
They'll come up with a bird that is a prolific reproducer and that has
