Repost after much editting. . . Reviving the dodo bird DELICIOUS!
Although no feathers or skin cells are currently known to exist. The closest living relative of the dodo bird is Nicobar pigeon found in Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India. If the fossils (bones) of a dodo were deposited in a basin (container) filled with many gallons of a LIVING Nicobar Pigeon's blood it would revive something.
Although for a precise resurrection of an INDIVIDUAL organism, that individual's hair and skin cells are required (to resurrect THAT individual). Deextinction of a generic individual "starter model" might be attainable with only the bones (skeletal cells of a no longer living species).
In this way the dodo bird might be returned to the wild to allow for a "new" delicious meal?
Ah, Sir David Attenborough on PBS; CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
