No.
Children's and group photographers would often place a little bird sculpture on their cameras so they could easily direct everyone to line up for the picture.
Before they snap the pic, they say 'Watch the birdie', the kids stare at it and then get hit with a crazy silver powder flash in a pan because that's how photography flashes worked back then.
