AB, your bird is better than the bobcat I had shoved in a freezer while waiting for someone to show me how to deal with it. He scared the hell out of a friend one day. I asked her to grab a turkey out of the freezer. "It's in a big white package." We raise our own birds so most everything in the freezer is packaged the same. Unfortunately, the cat was in a white trash bag - whole because I wanted to learn how to skin it and deal with the hide. Ooops. My bad. I knew what happened as soon as I heard the blood curdling scream. She screamed hysterically. I laughed hysterically... It's a wonder she still talks to me.
I showed the cat to my then 7-8 year old nephew. When he asked about the tag I said it was a thermometer. If we let him get too warm she'd come out of hibernation and eat all the food in the freezer...
Kinda makes having a bird in the freezer easier to take, huh?
