I can only assume that the agency of wild birds just didn’t occur to people 2000 years ago. I haven’t needed to look into the state of ornithology at the time, but from what I can tell, I get the feeling that they didn’t study avian starvation. The concept of birds starving doesn’t even seem to appear in Pliny’s Natural History, which would serve as a repository of the collected knowledge of history as of a few decades after the death of Christ, and I suspect that the rabble listening wouldn’t have even thought of it.
