I work for the P.O and do not think it was okay. MOST would not.
(Matter of fact, most of us are the ones rolling our eyes and being irritated when we call to have someone come pick up birds and they say "Aw, just bring them when you bring my mail." b/c we KNOW how fragile these little things are.
)
And to the person that said they'll never order chicks b/c of the nightmares that you have read here, for every bad one, there are hundreds of good ones. I've gotten plenty of chick and adult bird shipments, as well as had them sent out by myself and never had an issue.
I too, work for the P.O. and I can tell you that myself and my other fellow employees would never do something so irresponsible. When the chicks come in from Mt. Healthy for TSC, we love it! It signifies that spring is here and summer is coming. The chicks are put into a metal cage somewhere warm and TSC is notified asap!
Not all carriers are bad, it's unfortunate that the few pinheads ruin it for the rest of us. Believe it or not, there are many of us postal workers who love our job and the long standing tradition behind it. I'm so sorry for your loss and really hope the postmaster makes some kind of restitution!
