How many birds are given in the song the twelve days of Christmas?

Answer 1

1 partridge, 2 turtle doves, 3 french hens, 4 calling birds, 6 geese a laying, 7 swans a swimming. Add that, and you get 23 birds total!

If you count each day separately, you would get 184 birds!

12 days X 1 partridge/day = 12 partridges

11 days X 2 turtle doves/day = 22 turtle doves

10 days X 3 french hens/day = 30 french hens

9 days X 4 calling birds/day = 36 calling birds

7 days X 6 geese a laying/day = 42 geese a laying

6 days X 7 swans a swimming/day = 42 swans a swimming

1st day: 1 bird

2nd day: 3 birds, 4 total

3rd day: 6 birds, 10 total

4th day: 10 birds, 20 total

5th day: 10 birds, 30 total

6th day: 16 birds, 46 total

7th day: 23 birds, 69 total

8th day: 23 birds, 92 total

9th day: 23 birds, 115 total

10th day: 23 birds, 138 total

11th day: 23 birds, 161 total

12th day: 23 birds, 184 total
