Re: What did your birds get for Christmas?

WOW!!! all those gifts. You must have been a very good girl, Tammie.
Speaking of gifts and Chirstmas, here's a little trivia --- how many of us
birders know the correct name of the birds given as a gift on the 4th. day
of Christmas? (from the carol the 12 days of Christmas) ----- they were not
calling birds but colley birds, perhaps also spelled collie birds meaning
black birds. I want everyone to pronounce this correctly when singing this
carol next year.
