It's a bit misleading to use '60's' to describe the Liver Birds sitcom. Only 5 of its 86 episodes were transmitted in 1969. Almost all the rest were shown right through the 70's (says Wikipedia).
OTOH, it's a quiz sheet & not a legal document.

[fiction-factory]

Maybe it's a reference to Liverpool itself being popular culturally in the 1960s- and the birds on the Liver Building symbolised that- rather than to teh TV sit com of that name

[JJ109]

Or it may not be Liver at all - but the only other birds I can think of from the 60s were the YARDbirds!....and cannot apply it to a breakfast item!

[satprof]

It had me stumped - I couldn't see how to link The Byrds to breakfast either.

FF: My family come from Scouseland and I lived there for a while in the 50's & 60's. IMHO, hardly anyone outside the North-West had heard of the Liver Building birds before the TV programme came along.

the only other bird i can think of is thunderbirds lol
