Just found this information. I had a vague memory of the word being different originally. "The fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me Four Colly birds . . . (Now "Calling birds", but originally "Colly birds" = black birds., "Colly" means "black as coal" in old English, as in "colliery".)"
Sigh....you are full of questions today, aren't you!? To get out of the way of the 6 swans a swimming, 7 maids a milking, 8 geese a laying,.....etc! It was getting very crowded on the ground!

That is funny! The only thing funnier would have been if they photoshopped Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's faces into it.
Am I gullible?
I thought it was a real photo :-{
LOL! That would take the romance out of things in a hurry.
You asked me about the "4 calling birds" and I have no idea! I tried to find something on Google, but no luck. If you find out let me know :-)

Now can anyone explain why a partridge wants to roost in a tree?
