Cuckoo based Pterodactyl Reintroduction

One issue with bringing back long extinct dinosaurs into living existence is finding a suitable method of nurturing your baby dinosaur into a healthy adult - all too often, the "terrible lizards" find the laboratory environment contrary to their needs - and, let's face it, your average flinching clinician just isn't attuned to the general wellbeing requirements of a young abomination of nature.

What's necessary is a suitable method of sending your reptilian progeny out into the wild, and somehow have it develop naturally into an unstoppable horde of flying mega-lizards.

The ideal solution is of course to take advantage of the natural behaviours of the humble cuckoo - a bird who's parenting skills are legend, in that the female cuckoo will sneak into another bird's nest and insinuate one of her own eggs into the brood.

The host bird returns, and not being too clever in the number-stakes, fails to notice the additional egg in her nest.

Over time, the eggs hatch, and the baby cuckoo is considered by its adoptive mother as just another of her babies, and is fed and sheltered dotingly - despite its sometimes unpleasant behaviour towards its siblings.

The idea here is to capture millions of cuckoos, impregnate them with Pterodactyl sperm, and them release them back into the countryside.

Hopefully, the distribution of dinosaur babies among many different species of host bird will mean the chances of one species adopting a suitable set of conditions for fledgling pterodactyls (or, if this plan is somehow foiled, possibly Pteranodon stock, Archaeopteryxes being far too small) will be much higher than the otherwise disappointing results found in the lab.

The result should be a muah-ha-ha-able scourge of enormous flying reptiles across much of the countryside.
