The phrase 'a little birdie told me' has a somewhat contentious origin: some attribute it to Ecclesiastes 10:20 "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird in the sky may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say." Another explanation is a simple allusion to carrier pigeons or other such messenger birds.
An older source is the Norse legend of Sigurd who slew the dragon Fafnir and got a bit of dragon's blood on his tongue when he was roasting its heart. This immediately made it possible for Sigurd to understand what the birds were saying, and what they were saying was "there is a mystery geocache hidden here at Heritage Park".
These are the instructions Sigurd was given:
Project a way-point 691 feet from the posted coordinates bearing 86.5 degrees. The birdie said, "at this location, you will find a field puzzle that holds the coordinates to a hidden treasure. Find that treasure and retrieve the golden egg. Inside the golden egg, there is a scroll on which you must sign your geonick. Be sure to hide your tracks and replace everything as you found it. Remember to CITO and reset stage 1!
