ran across a website tonight with similar research...
http://10000birds.com/birds-of-the-twelve-days-of-christmas.htm/comment-page-1#comment-134724
and this was my comment to it ... your research is awesome and is very close to what I discovered. I researched this earlier this year and was just brushing up on my blog making sure I had everything I needed for my family christmas program. you stopped at day 7 but I found out that it is ALL birds. or certainly could be. 10 Lord’s a leaping… there is a Lord God Bird, a woodpecker and it leaps. In fact many birds leap. 8 maids a milking. the cuckoo bird is called a maid and they milk their young. 9 ladies dancing… There is a Lady roco bird… and it could just be referring to female birds dancing. birds dance and leap. 11 pipers… there are sand pipers. 12 drummers drumming… many birds drum… in fact the ruffled grouse (PA) is called a partridge or drummer. thought you might like to know. no proof of if that is what the author of the song intended but hey, it works.
