This image reminds me of a 1935 poem on the Silvereye by C J Dennis - the first of four versus goes like this
Down among the strawberries,
Up among the plums,
Cheeping in the cherry-tree
When early autumn comes,
In our silver spectacles
And sober olive suits.
We’re very, very innocent;
We wouldn’t touch your fruits.

They certainly had no issues eating these fruits!
