How did ice stay cold while being transported before freezers?

When I was a boy , about eight, I lived in a housing project in a city. About once a week this old guy would come around the neighborhood in his horse and wagon and deliver large ice blocks (about 2 ft on a side). He would carry the blocks on his shoulder, holding it with pointed ice prongs, into the person's house and into their refrigerator. That's how some people kept things cold back then. Electric refrigerators were rare. That was about 1948. Anyway, to your question. The blocks of ice in his wagon were just stacked so as to make a giant block. And the giant block was covered with heavy canvas as insulation. Only the outside blocks had some exposure but they kept the blocks in the middle nice and cold. Even the exposed blocks would take a few days to melt when covered with the canvas. So that's how it was done. Also, many towns had ice making factories so the ice could be made locally and not have to be transported hundreds of miles.

Finding Affordable Commercial Freezers?
When grocery stores and restaurants need storage for their frozen goods, only commercial freezers can get the job done. Commercial freezers vary in design, size, and function. Grocery stores typically only need freezers that store food at thirty two degrees. These freezers are often just larger versions of the freezers that the average consumer use at home. These freezers are often in a box style, which allows for individual freezers to carry certain foods, which makes organization easier. Larger stores can even have entire rooms dedicated to the preservation of food. These commercial freezers are actually built into the buildings, as the entire room is just a giant freezer. Commercial freezers are also used in small businesses, such as ice cream shops. These freezers are often smaller than most commercial freezers, but are still much more powerful than those that we use at home. There are also freezers that are dedicated to to have dual functionality. These freezers have glass doors so customers can see that is in them, and they can still keep the food at the required temperature. These freezers are made to order and are only for commercial use, and are often purchased in bulk so that they may comprise entire aisles in a grocery store. While the commercial freezers that are used in stores are basically larger models than what we have at home, the freezers used in the actual manufacturing of the food are much different. These commercial freezers are very powerful, so powerful that the rooms that they are in have to be labeled as hazardous. These freezers are often called flash freezers. This is because after the food is made, it needs to be preserved as soon as possible to retain its freshness after cooking. These freezers often span multiple rooms and feature large conveyor belts that transport the food. These freezers can instantly freeze food, and drop to temperatures of -120 degrees fahrenheit almost instantly. Freezers are an integral part of the commercial food industry. Without them, food wouldn’t be able to be transported across the nation, and across the country. Commercial freezers range in size and power, but there are several different models that are available for consumer and business use.

What can be done about birds that escaped due to a traffic accident while they were being transported?
It would depend upon the bird. If you're talking rare birds being transported to a zoo or aviary, then most likely they will send someone out to see if they can find them and recapture them. But if it's a common bird you bought at a pet shop, then probably you should go back and buy some more birds.
