swift – 不支持使用“协议”作为符合协议“协议”的具体类型

protocol Animal {
var name: String { get }
}

struct Bird: Animal {
    var name: String
    var canEat: [Animal]
}

struct Mammal: Animal {
    var name: String
}

extension Array where Element: Animal {
    func mammalsEatenByBirds() -> [Mammal] {
        var eatenMammals: [Mammal] = []
        self.forEach { animal in
            if let bird = animal as? Bird {
                bird.canEat.forEach { eatenAnimal in
                    if let eatenMammal = eatenAnimal as? Mammal {
                        eatenMammals.append(eatenMammal)
                    } else if let eatenBird = eatenAnimal as? Bird {
                        let innerMammals = eatenBird.canEat.mammalsEatenByBirds()
                        eatenMammals.append(contentsOf: innerMammals)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return eatenMammals
    }
}

编译器不让我编译抱怨：
在递归调用函数mammalsEatenByBirds()时,不支持使用’Animal’作为符合协议’Animal’的具体类型

我已经看到了其他一些答案,但无法将我的问题与任何问题联系起来.
