Pirates!
The nursery rhyme is about Blackbeard the pirate!
The 24 blackbirds is about how he would send a small crew of two dozen over on rowboats to attack a ship first.
Check out the link.
Hope that helps!

To please the king and queen? But then the song does say:
When teh dish was open
The birds began to sing
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king
I can't see 24 birds baked in a pie, come out of the oven and sing!!!

I guess that was some reference to gourmet chefs of the middle ages! I've always wondered what was a "tuffet" that Miss Muffet sat on when encountering a rather large arachnid?

you sure you got the words right? cake then pie? same birds?
I would just do a couple of blackbirds, marinated in herbs and braised or barbecued.
