On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me... Twelve Drummers Drumming Eleven Pipers Piping Ten Lords A-Leaping Nine Ladies Dancing Eight Maids A-Milking Seven Swans A-Swimming Six Geese A-Laying Five Gold Rings Four Calling Birds Three French Hens Two Turtle Doves And A Partridge In A Pear Tree Close Window Day 1 – A Partridge in a Pear Tree Find out all about the Grey Partridge, its habitat, where you might see one and even listen to its call. Day 2 – Two Turtle Doves The dove is a universal symbol of peace so it’s appropriate to have this site listed. Day 3 – Three French Hens I don’t know about 3 French Hens, there must be hundreds of them here! Day 4 – Four Calling Birds Not quite what you’d expect! This site explains how to attract birds by calling to them and mimicking their sounds! Day 5 – Five Gold Rings Five interlocked rings is the symbol of the Olympic Games and Sir Steven Redgrave has won 5 Olympic Golds for rowing Day 6 – Six Geese a-Laying Everything you wanted to know about geese but were afraid to ask! Day 7 – Seven Swans a-Swimming Follow the annual swan migration and learn more about wildfowl and wetland birds. Day 8 – Eight Maids a-Milking Test your skills at paper folding (Origami) and make yourself a hat! Day 9 – Nine Ladies Dancing Where better to look for dancing than Birmingham’s very own ballet company. Day 10 – Lords a-Leaping You’re not likely to see them leaping up and down but at least you’ll get an idea as to what the House of Lords does all day long! Day 11 – Eleven Pipers Piping The skirl of the bagpipes – mind you, there’s a lot more than 11 of them here! Day 12 – Twelve Drummers Drumming What better way to accompany the 11 pipers than with a drum corps! Close Window
