I love the expression « a little bird told me »
http://www.theidioms.com/a-little-bird-told-me/
http://www.theidioms.com/a-little-bird-told-me/
Origin
Messenger birds and pigeons may have been the source for this phrase. It has been used in the Holy Bible too, Ecclesiastes 10:20. John Heywood explained a slightly different version in 1562 which was edited again in 1906.
The phrase also appears in the Norse legend where Sigurd could hear and understand the birds after he slayed the dragon Fafnir. The birds warned him that Regin would kill him. Sir Richard Wagner also used birds instructing him to steal a helmet and ring through a small song. The communication of and with the birds is speculated as a source of origin or at least popularity of the phrase.

Thanks Muriel. In France, pinkies can speak.
NB: Pinkie is the word used in the US for "little finger" (UK)
