Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My lord. A Famima has opened in Westwood opposite a Bristol Farms. That's way too much swish grocery near me.
I can't wait to go look.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In 1903, W.L. Dawson wrote "Without question the most deplorable event in the history of American ornithology was the introduction of the English Sparrow."
Yes, but what would we have done without all those coconuts?

I love that there's a ranking for this.

If I only had a brain...
Was the passenger pigeon dead by 1903? Because that ought to be number 1.

Who said anything about doing without? The swallows brought the coconuts.

And I believe it was African swallows that did the coconut carrying, not European swallows.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The passenger pigeon officially went out at the beginning of WWI -- 1914, not 1903. But that means there were like twelve of them left by then.
I'll not soon forget the radio expedition I heard, where the birders were in search of that recently-rediscovered (maybe) woodpecker in Arkansas, and burst into joyful tears at hearing its (somewhat-disputed) call. I've never felt about a bird that way, but it pleases me that somebody does.
