Nursery rhyme 4 and 20 Black Birds

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

Um, I can think of several things here. The The King's Singers did a version of the Beatles song Blackbird. There is the nursery rhyme Sing a Song of Sixpence. There is a Grimms fairy tale about the Golden blackbird and also all of Aesop's fables that include blackbirds.
