“A little bird told me” is a widely used and understood phase in many languages including Spanish.
In Spanish, when we want to say something without saying who told us about it, we can say:
Un pajarito me contó
Me contó un pajarito
Ex.: Un pajarito me contó / Me contó un pajarito que Estela tiene novio ( A little bird told me that Estela has a boyfriend).
At the picture, the little bird defends itself: I never told anything 😉
