On the Fifth day of Christmas my True Love gave to me... Five Golden Rings.
Although we think of 5 Golden Rings literally as 5 golden rings, the song may have been referring to the markings on a ring neck pheasant. This would show that the first 7 lyrics in this song all involve some sort of bird. In the secret code; Five Golden rings represent the first 5 books of the Old Testiment.
