Opfindsomt genbrug

I et engelsk børnerim bor der en hel familie i en sko, som må være fra et par ordentlige kander:

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread,
Then whipped them all soundly
 And put them to bed.

I Skagen kan en fuglefamile flytte ind i en ordentlig kande på en helt anden måde.
Eller er det kun en joke?
