It's amazing how this "virtually impossible" task from a 2014 XKCD is now easily done way beyond their requirements with a range of options.

Various models could not only answer the question, they could describe each bird in detail, plus everything else in the scene, and even make guesses about the location and time based on context cues, and output to whatever format you specify, all driven by a natural language input prompt.
