Pretty sure Snow’s blue birds have been mentioned before – they delivered the message to Rumple that Cinderella wanted to make a new deal (could be just an actual letter but now maybe not) and they gathered intel on the curse for the first episode’s war council. Do think maybe a line from Emma like “so….you talk to birds now?” could have helped but it didn’t shock me completely that she understood the crow..
