Yes.

The pie doesn't look remotely appetizing, but I love the birds and the nursery rhyme tie-in.

"Sing a song of sixpence"

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.

I find it odd that I only count 23 birds in the ad.. you'd think that with that close a number they would have drawn one more! Am I miscounting?

Looks like Mr. Whistle didn't make it past the baking, and is still hidden somewhere within the depths of the pie. :^(

Yeah, I'd say, "in the pie". You are correct on 23.

Yes!

Perfect ad for my icon! ;)

Yes, not because of the pie, though, rather because I love red-winged blackbirds. Saw one IRL about two months ago for the first time since around sixth grade. :D Plus corvids are awesome in general.
