There's a bloke trying to court his "true love" with 140 birds from his father's aviary. 140 packed into the first seven days. And nobody bats an eye about the "9 ladies dancing".

It makes sense when you consider the time period. His family was rich, and they were throwing a Christmas Ball. So many birds ready for the dinner.
