Leszek L.    642650 Tue, 02 Jan 07 08:54 AM Hello, I have another problem with birds in a song. On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me: four calling birds. What exactly are these? Are they simply any birds who are calling (making sounds to invite prospective spouses), or is there a species or genus of birds known by that name? Thanks in advance, Leszek. Leszek L.

And now a riddle: If you get four colly birds on the fourth day of christmas, how many folly birds will you get on the twelfth day of x-mas? mike PS.
