*HINT* ... Each day, the verse of choice will be BOLDED and highlighted.
Today, we are doing "second day of Christmas".
On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
The Turtle Dove is also known as European Turtle Dove. It is in the bird family Columbidae. They are of a smaller build.
Unlike the Partridge Bird, the Turtle Dove IS a migratory bird. They have been known to fly to Turkey and even North Africa!
The Turtle Dove rarely appears in Northern Europe before the end of April, returning south again in September.
It lives in the dense wooded areas and eats from the ground.

Apparently birds were the gifts of choice back in the day! :)
You may be right there. Then again, day three has something different.
Crap!! Take that back. I get to do French Hens tomorrow. But it will have to wait until evening time for me to write it.
Very interesting! But I sure hope that I don't get a bird for Christmas, I have enough to take care of around here! Love Di ♥
