Traditions or habits picked up from your parents?

I’m happy to say that I have picked up a few traditions/habits from my Dad who passed away 3 years ago. He always made sure we had a good Christmas; he always made sure to feed the wild birds in the wintertime and pre-warms his coffee mug before pouring coffee in it…. A bit quirky, but I like it. How about you?

Other than a partridge in a pear tree, what else can I give my true love on the First Day of Christmas?

My other question is: Why are there so many dang birds being given during the 12 Days of Christmas? I mean, swans, geese, calling birds, French hens, turtle doves, a partridge…Give me a break! Who wants to feed all those birds? Isn’t the chance of catching bird flu a little greater, with all those birds hanging around?

As for the maids a-milking, wouldn’t you have to give the cows to go along with that, so that the maids a-milking have something to milk? Or is it the maids themselves who are lactating?

What about the lords a-leaping? What are they leaping to, their deaths?

Drummers drumming and pipers piping–kinda loud, isn’t it? And wouldn’t you need a big house to keep all those drummers, pipers, dancing ladies and milking maids? Would they all need their own bedrooms? And what about bathroom time? I didn’t include the lords a-leaping in this, because they all lept to their deaths.

So, anyway, if I HAVE to give a partridge in a pear tree, is Danny Bonduce available?

One Budgie Or Two?

I’m buying my first bird this Christmas (a budgie), so I have plenty of time to prepare. However, I’m a little confused. Should I purchase one or a pair? My new budgie book says just one is an “incomplete bird” and needs a friend to thrive. Is this true, or will they just ignore me? Will I still be able to tame them both? Also, will a male and female still breed if I don’t give them a nest box? I’m so confused!!
