"A little bird told me"Posted by Debra Whitworth on January 11, 2001 I noticed that you don't list an origin for this phrase. There is a verse in the Bible - I believe in the Old Testament and perhaps in Psalms, Proverbs or Ecclesiates - which says something like be careful what you say because a bird may overhear it and carry it to the king. Perhaps that is its origin.
