HELP Dead bird stuck behind grille

So I was driving to work this morning and see a cardinal pop up off the road out of no where. I was worried I hit it but didn't hear any impact so figured it was ok. Welllll....turns out that bird went right through the large holes in the grille, smashed into the condenser, and died. Now I have a dead bird inside the cavity between the grille and condenser and as best I can tell there is NO WAY to open that area up without taking off the whole from fascia. Does any one have any ideas to help. The cardinal is in two or three parts sitting on the bottom plastic that sits just above the car.

You can take out the metal part in the front under the hood there is 6 bolt's and that opens up some room to get in front of the condenser.

Just wait it out. Sooner or later it will turn to bones and just fall out. The smell shouldn't bother you for too long. I'm sure you'll get use to it.
