Twelve Days of Christmas

A Partridge in a Pear Tree with feature pattern - Clare

The partridge derives its name from Perdix of Greek mythology. It is told that Perdix was transformed into a bird and flew off to be with his beloved goddess Athena, often depicted as the pear tree.

Two Turtle Doves with feature pattern - Alana

Turtle doves are found in England only during the spring and summer. A gift of two at Christmas - their coos a reminder of warmer days - would surely make quite an impression on anyone's true love.
