Where to get a fresh tasty bird for the holidays - Berlin

Shopping for a turkey or goose that's not frozen

CapnKirk
Crimbo is getting close, and as we are staying in town this year, we're going to need a big bird! Our local Metzger gave me a funny look when I asked if I could order a whole fresh turkey or goose, so does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can get my mitts on one? I don't mind a trip across town to get it, so suggestions fronm anywhere in/around Berlin would be good.
Cheers

We can order fresh birds at the Geflügelstand on our local market - no problemo...

Looking at the title of the post, I thought you were asking for those birds that don_rina talks about, all the time.

Mea culpa
But I enjoyed writing the new title

KaDeWe had one of the biggest birds I've ever seen (would never fit in a standard German oven) but as always, pricey.

Thank you! I'll pop round there tomorrow.

If the bird is big enough, look out for the invite to the left-over curry party.

A quick update:

Went to Rogacki on Saturday morning, was really lucky and was able to park just a few yards along the street. Ordering was easy, just asked at the counter and was directed to the back of the store, where ther's a small office. I asked about ordering a bird, and she took name, address, phone number and 10Eur deposit. Arranged a pick-up of 10am on the 24th. She said they would be busy, so I should be prepared for a wait on the day. Whole thing was quick and easy. Their prices seemed OK at 14.90Eur per kilo.

Lucky escape with the parking though - got back to find that the cars to either side of mine were blocked in with double-parking, it seemed that it was pretty common around here, as I noticed loads more double parking (none of the cars had anyone sitting in them - so no telling how long you could be trapped)

We ordered our fresh turkey on Saturday at one of the Geflugelstands at our local market. Took about 30 seconds to arrange. Pickup Christmas Eve morning

@Bradzki, I take it you will be back in Liverpool to collect your turkey/chicken from Tescos then...
