In Farmer Stone's hay loft, there were several animals, in particular birds, mice, and cockroaches.

One day, feeling bored, I decided to count the animals. I found there were exactly 150 feet and 50 heads in total, and there were twice as many cockroaches as mice.

How many of each animal were there?
