If I set free the four colly birds I was given today will they return to me?

Thanks to a very colorful friend for pointing out that the original version is indeed "colly" birds, not "calling" birds.

    Colly=black as coal.

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly

    I am free now, I won't be returning. Wish me well .....

    Probably not. They don't know and trust you yet if you have only gotten them today.
