I don't understand why they've labelled the piece "Jurassic" when they're talking about an extinction event less than 150 years ago, I thought this was going to be piece about some flying therapod dinosaur (which is basically what a modern bird is). It's actually just talking about creating a hybrid, such occurences can happen naturally with significant undesirable consequences: Ruddy & White-headed ducks create fertile hybrids

Just a clever title evoking the movie franchise.

Asperger's?

No. Post-doctoral research scientist in various aspects of biological science, particularly zoology. And a dislike of ill-conceived tabloid-style headlines.
