I reviewed the company’s tracking tracking and there’s no tracking information for a whole 24 hours. I have proof of everything through email.

You would have to make your customer whole, since you did not provide them what they paid for (e.g. refund the cost of 43 birds). You in turn could ask the shipper to reimburse you and, if they will not, could sue them based on the fact that the deaths and delay would have been their responsibility (breach of contract; and/or negligence).
