idiacanthidae:

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me;

Five gold rings

Four collie birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree

More surprises! Did you know that five “rings” originally referred to five golden ring necked pheasants? I find it kind of heartwarming that this beloved is sending his lady so much food for the festival days. c:
