1.   You going to get a different colour pencil and do a different colour little birdies?

2.   A little birdie with an uncontrollable beak said so.

3.   Oh look, a little birdie, he said, pointing to some imaginary spot beyond the open door.

4.   Should we do this because little birdies in fact gorge on rice, inflate, and explode little feathers and beaks all over the sky?

5.   The handyman was castigated for suggesting these sticky materials because, according to the castigator, the materials are a health hazard to the poor little birdies.
