I'm pretty up to speed on Old Testament dietary laws, and there's
nothing in there about not roasting a waterfowl on its birthday.

Deuteronomy 14:21 does say:
Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it
unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou
mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the
LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
