well in the song it is the first thing you get so you get one for every verso which are 12 so you end up with twelve.

Really simple multiplication - 12 verses, each with 1 partridge in a pear tree. Thus, 12x1 = 12 pear trees.

Have a different, more difficult one: How many calling birds are there in the whole song? Hint: s?s??? ????? ?s??? ??? ?o? ???dd? ?,uop ???? ???? ??q?????
