Little Bird
Secret source, idiomatically
Little bird refers to an unnamed or anonymous source of information: A little bird told me you're getting married.
The phrase playfully declines to reveal who shared the news, suggesting the information arrived through informal channels—gossip, rumor, or secondhand knowledge.
It's coy and lighthearted, often used when the speaker wants to tease or avoid naming their source directly.
