Four calling birds is an extract from the song the Twelve Days of Christmas. The song originates in England in 1780 and the calling birds refers to "colly birds" or the European Blackbird.

Birds vary in price. But if one is looking for the birds spoken of in the Christmas song, the four calling birds, there is news. They are not calling birds, but rather are colly birds, meaning "black as coal". Black birds (blackbirds or a cousin, the starling) can be had cheaply.
Your true love gave you four calling birds. How generous!
According to the Christmas song there were 4 Calling birds 3 French hens 2 Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a pear tree.
Calling to eachother...?
