Its Vögel. I've never heard Vogeln so kick your translator xD
Don't you have case stuff in Dutch pronouns? Like in English him, her, me. Wait I try.
In elementary school we learned it by questions.
Wer? Nominativ
Wessen? Genitiv > Almost never used in spoken language so we can skip that
Wem? Dativ
Wen? Akkusativ
Nominativ is always used for the subject in a sentence.
Okay when you have verbs that want 2 objects you use a Dativ for the object that verb is adressing to.
Ich gebe dir den Vogel = I give you the bird > dir=Dativ, den Vogel=Akkusativ
Ich gebe dem Vogel dich = I give you to the bird > dem Vogel Dativ, dich=Akkusativ
Ich spende ihm Vögel = I donate birds to him
Ich spende ihn Vögeln = I donate him to birds
(Ich spende ihm Vögeln = I donate him shagging <- thats better than fuck yes? xD)
Basically you use Dativ for the active object (the person that is target of your action) and Akkusativ for the passive object (the thing your are using for your action)
It's different for verbs that only want one object though. Most of them, but not all use Akkusativ.
Ich sehe dich. >dich=Akkusativ
Sie schlägt ihn. >ihn= Akkusativ
... I suck at explaining this x.x
