Keep breeding dodos and then charge a million dollars a weekend to anyone who can afford it to go hunt them, and your initial $30m is likely recouped within the first year

There likely isn't enough genetic diversity to get more than a first generation of dodo's. You'd end up doing a lot of inbreeding and the rate of successful births would be very low.
