I like the idea of "two" = "to." Advertisers and others back then went in for what we'd consider pretty silly, dumb puns.

But there's still the fact that it's two birds. Why birds? These two look kind of like pigeons. Maybe they're supposed to be two turtle doves, as in the Twelve Days of Christmas. Beyond that, birds symbolize industriousness.
