Presumably yes, if:
- you also use the Birdy handlepost, which has the steerer tube (might go without it, if you can get a long enough steerer tube by cutting it off another fork)
- that steerer tube's diameter fits the headset on the other bike
- that steerer tube is not too short (if it's too long it can be cut shorter)
- the Birdy fork total height fits the other bike fairly well (it might be too tall for a Brompton, but should fit better if it's replacing an unsuspended fork for a 20" wheel)
- the head tube angle fits that of the Birdy, more or less
Many ifs, but should be possible to figure out.
