Why couldn't that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck

The bird is for a normal x-ray. Here's the context.
CT scans take much longer, but an x-ray is just a few seconds. I think it's just a practical way to get the bird in place for a quick x-ray, and by practical I mean the vet techs minimize their (very real) risk of being murdered.

Birds have very delicate air sacs. For small birds like that constricting them can seriously damage them and cause issues breathing.
-
I think they lack a diaphragm. It was weird reading in my cockatiel care books that some handling on the neck was fine, but even small pressure to their chest could prevent them from breathing.

That is correct. :)
