I do tend to waffle a bit. You could (probably not to 100%), but using the 100% Great Auk sperm every generation is easier and more reliable, assuming it works.

When it comes to de-extinction of birds, genome editing may be more probable than cloning.
Anyway, the idea of a recentky extinct pack sounds cool in my head but in practice I wouldn't want it before all the essential extant species. I would happily take more educational material though, we have the dodo statue already so why not a moa or thylacine statue?

It cant be cloned, because its bird. Birds cant be cloned.
Generall idea is not to clone, but to alter what kind of offspring can invidual produce. In shortcut goal is to achieve chimera chickens with ability to produce dodo's sperm.
Wouldn't Nicobar Or Victoria Crowned Pigeon Make More Sense To Do This With Considering Genetics?
No. In birds case it is possible to create chimeras with ability to produce sperm and potentially even offspring of other species. So it doesnt matter, which species can be parent since all birds lay eggs. Nicobar pigeon will be used to only gather necessary primordial germ cells. Afterwards chickens are better testing objects, which are literally build for that: cheap, fast reproduction rate and really no one cares, if something will happen to research object
