[@trashcraftretired189]

I heard this song all my life ad didn’t even realize a Partridge was even a bird lol.

[@raynemichelle2996]

😮 Most of the things in that song are birds

[@kaylathehedgehog2005]

@@raynemichelle2996 I've seen theories that postulate that the five gold rings may have referred to ring-necked pheasants.

The real partridge family.

[@user-pj2xd8uo6b]

I have a partridge. He's so cute, I want to know more facts about them but there's not much information shared about them.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

They don't typically feature in nature documentaries but they're awesome birds!

[@christy76840]

Thank you for that, I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT

[@hudasaeed4416]

Cute and awesome I love love Them❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kaylathehedgehog2005]

They kind of remind me of the bobwhites we have in my area.

[@NeuroPulse]

I don't remember hearing the word "inclusive" in relation to the values of "the holidays" yet. Kind, charitable, generous, sure. Inclusive, not sure what exactly that's intended to mean, as each person who uses that word seems to either mean something different from the others, or actually doesn't know exactly what they mean other than that they believe it makes them look good to say it.

[@indyreno2933]

There are nine extant families of gamebirds (order Galliformes) 1) Megapodiidae (Megapodes) 2) Cracidae (Currasows, Chachalacas, and Guans) 3) Numididae (Guineafowl) 4) Odontophoridae (New World Partridges and Quails) 5) Perdicidae (Old World Partridges and Quails) 6) Rollulidae (Jungle Partridges) 7) Phasianidae (Pheasants, Tragopans, Monals, and Monal Partridges) 8) Tetraonidae (Grouse, Turkeys, and Koklass Pheasants) 9) Gallidae (Chickens, Bamboo Partridges, Francolins, Spurfowl, Peafowl, Arguses, Peacock Pheasants, Crimson-Headed Partridge, African Forest Partridges, Snowcocks, Dwarf Quails, Malagasy Partridge, and Desert Partridges)

"It might be meant to symbolize Jesus Christ." Ok, so what was Jesus doing in a pear tree?

[@andyjay729]

So wait, is twelve days of Christmas a French song?

[@rallock67]

It was also originally 3 colly or black birds. “colly,” which is derived from the Old English word for coal, predates “calling” by more than a century. No one in America knew what the heck colly meant and started say calling, so the black birds were charged to calling birds
