In the Mary Poppins *books*, were the twins (infants) able to converse with animals, because they could not?
yet speak language?
Trying to recall the book in which two small children converse with small animals outside their nursery window. The (birds and ?) mention it is too bad, soon the children will be old enough to speak, and then will not be able to understand animal speech anymore. The children say no, they will remember, but the birds come back in the spring, and the children cannot understand them, are speaking words with adults.
Was this in the Mary Poppins books? The first one?
Hey, I know how to use Wikipedia. I posted this question after looking there and not finding the details I needed.

Couldn't find anything in the books but:-
The original 1934 printing of Mary Poppins contained a version of the chapter Bad Tuesday in which Mary and the children use a compass to visit places all over the world in a remarkably short period of time. Because it contained a variety of cultural and racial stereotypes of Chinese, Inuit, Africans, and Native Americans, Travers (the author of Mary Poppins) responded to criticism by revising the chapter in 1981 to include animal representatives instead of people. At the same time, original illustrator Mary Shepard altered the accompanying drawing of the compass to show a Polar Bear at the north, a Macaw at the south, a Panda at the east, and a Dolphin at the west.
