What was up with Snow being able to talk to birds? You think it would have been mentioned earlyer if that was an actual power.
[adrotate group="5"]Isn’t it a traditional Snow White trait? Except she’s typically seen communing with sweet little bluebirds as opposed to nasty crows. And that’s why we saw her with the bluebird on the balcony when she was preggo in the pilot. Or am I making stuff up? Must google….

The Forest Animals are characters and minor protagonists in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The only human character who seems able to speak to them is Snow White, whom they make it their priority to protect and help throughout the film. Deer, chipmunks, birds and squirrels inhabit the forest; however, the most significant of the forest fauna is a turtle, who is always a step behind the other animals. The animals are primary used to justify many of Snow White’s lines; rather than talking to herself, she is adressing her animal friends. Like Cinderella, Princess Aurora and, to a certain extent, Belle and Jasmine, Snow White is deprived of contact with the outside world and finds friendship in the animals around her.
I just have a feeling that if it was supposed to be part of our Snow, then they would have included more detail of it in some back story or something. Right now it just seems like something they stuck in the middle of it all.
Talking of tweeting, cough, in this case croaking. You’re right, Faux Pax, it feels off, that they now bring it like it’s no biggie: Oh, btw, Snow can understand some bird talk. On the other hand I remember faintly, that I had that thought sometime before, in some scene, but so can’t remember, when (should take more notes while watching). There were hints, but they never made use of it.
But I am not even sure now, that Snow does understand birds. Isn’t it possible, that Cora’s magic made it possible, that the crow could deliver the message to them?
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
I think it’s interesting it was a CROW. Every time Regina was being the EQ in SB, there were crow noises in the background. Many of us noticed this. What if they are Cora’s spies? Crow mythology often deals with death, traveling all over the world, and even a trickster, all which may be tied to Cora in someway. Maybe they fly to Cora in whatever world she’s in at the time with messages.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"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..
In addition to Snow’s connection with birds, in the pilot Prince Charming mentioned that the animals of the forest were abuzz with news about the dark curse. It seems like talking animals might be more common in the EF than we perhaps realized. Jiminy Cricket could communicate with people. Now, it seems like Billy/Gus the mouse might have been able to communicate with Cinderella in the EF.
Also, in the cartoon version of Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent had a pet crow who was also an evil spy. Crows are typically portrayed as bad omens in folklore and fairytales. Cora using a crow as a messenger is fitting. I also recall hearing or seeing crows in the second episode of S1 when Regina was creating the dark curse.

Also, when Charming wrote to Snow in 7:15am (I think it was that episode), he sent a bird, despite the fact that he had no idea where she was. A normal messenger bird can only go between two places as far as I know, so it must have been a “magical” bird – one that knew who to get the message to, and would keep looking for her.
