On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me.
And a partridge in a pear tree.

This wording must have been opaque to many even in the nineteenth
century: "canary birds", "colour'd birds", "curley birds", and "corley
birds" are found in its place. Frederic Austin's 1909 version, which
introduced the now-standard melody, also altered the fourth day's gift
to four calling birds, and this variant has become the most popular.

...implies that on the first day of Christmas, my true love gave two things: (1) "to me" (whatever that is), and (2) "a partridge in a pear tree" (whatever that is).
