Yes Merryd, croquet is a sport; remember that the British Open is held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon.
Knockin' on Heaven's Door: Bob Dylan, Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin, Something Happened on the Way to Heaven: Phil Collins, Somewhere in Heaven: Santana, This Could be Heaven: Seal. Great songs, especially the first two; just went to YouTube to listen to them as I wrote this.
Now gimme me five birds that have red feathers in their adult plumage.

Between the two of you, you got five. Remember I asked for characters; you could have picked five out of X-Men alone
. Since you didn't ask for five more of anything.......

Hmmmm... tricky...
Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, The Dying Swan(?), there's one that Pavlova (I think) used to dance - Petrushka(??) - not sure of the spelling.
I think these are right, but I'll chuck in a couple more - Romeo & Juliet and Midsummer Night's Dream. I'm not sure that the Shakespearean ballets are traditional though.
Gimme 5 flavours of gelati.

The dying swan is Swan Lake; and Pavlova is correct. A Midsummer Night's Dream has been danced, but it's really a play. I'll just throw in The Nutcracker and Giselle for kicks.
CHOCOLAT, vanilla, strawberry, coffee, rasberry.
Gimme five song titles by ABBA. That should be easy for you down under. You practically coronated them when they visited your lovely isle. (I've got several of their albums too
)

Ok trains... coal, wood, electric, diesel and steam (the steam kind of overlaps with the wood and coal but I can't think of any others!)
The traditional ballets are Le Slyphide, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Giselle and Le Fille Mal Grande. Petrushka was a 20th Century ballet, just so you know Merry.
Now please Gimme 5 types of law
