Passenger pigeons would be problematic.

First, they seem to have needed huge flocks of millions of birds to do well.

So, how to start off with a flock of millions of passenger pigeons...?

2nd, lets assume that flock lands in a field on your farm.

When they take off, so does the grain.

They've got the 'horns thing' down pat! :)

Scottish Highland Cows: A Unique Cattle Breed
https://melissaknorris.com/scottish-highlander-cows/

I’m after my niece to get a couple of these .... not as difficult to contain as goats and they pretty much do the same job:

“Unlike other cattle, these cows are exceptional and much heartier foragers. They will eat blackberry vines, poison ivy, and honeysuckle vines. If they can reach it, they will eat it.

They’re great for restoring pastures or wooded areas as well. They’ll clean up entire woods that other cattle may not even survive in.

If you have a field or wooded area that needs to be cleared, you could clear acreage while raising food for your table. Talk about a win-win!”

The first newly reincarnated woolly mammoth drowned trying to walk across the now submerged Bering Land Bridge.

Dude! Too soon. Show a little respect for the deceased.
