My grandmother had that image hanging in the den.

The version of the bird joke that I know goes as follows.

A man is in court charged with shooting a golden eagle, which is illegal in the UK. He eventually convinces the magistrate that it was an accident, and is found not guilty. The magistrate then asks, out of curiosity, what he did with the dead eagle. The man replies,

"I ate it"

"What did it taste like?"

"A bit like swan"

As told by the late veteran British comedian Barry Cryer.

Killing a swan is also illegal in the UK
This goes back to 13/14th Century or so, protected under some ancient royal ownership

Old-timers here should note the reference to the fish-slapping dance at the bottom right.
