Thanks for the heads-up, everyone. I received a lot of responses about this! Apparently it's illegal (per the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act) to possess a dead bird even briefly and with the intent of transporting it to a certified facility. I thought it was illegal to keep a bird (dead or alive) permanently in one's own possession without a permit, but apparently it's even stricter than that.
Good to know!
Thanks again,
