I think the original stipulation was not “how much would you give to a program saving X, Y or Z birds?”, but “how much would you pay to save X, Y or Z birds?” in which the fixed amount of money is explicitly saving different numbers.
No, it doesn’t. That kind of possibility never exists in the real world: “name a quantity to save all birds”. It’s unreasonable to expect even the most rational of all to behave like a computer in that kind of situation.

Ah, ok, makes sense.
