The thrush who overheard Bilbo tell the dwarves about the "soft spot" in Smaug's armor relayed this information to Bard the Bowman. (For some reason people from Bard's lineage were able to understand the language of thrushes.) Bard, using the thrush's advice, shot his black arrow into the hollow of Smaug's chest, thus killing him.
The Old Thrush, one of the species of Great Thrush that lived in the Esgaroth region, told Bard that Smaug had a hole in his armored chest right over his heart.
Because this thrush is old and it can understand the common tongue, and the men of Lake-town and Dale can understand the language of the thrushes.
The killer of Smaug is Bard the Bowman. He's alerted by a thrush who overheard of Smaug's weakness (a single bare spot in his bejeweled chest).Bard, a man in the town of Esgaroth, a town by the lake, killed the dragon. He was told by the thrush where Smaug's weak spot was, and thus Bard was able to shoot the dragon through the heart.
Bilbo had seen it during his conversation with Smaug and later a bird heard Bilbo talk about the missing bit of armor. The bird told Bard where Smaug's vulnerable spot was; one spot under his arm where there was no armor.
The Thrush tells Bard about the missing spot of armor on the dragon's belly. And the thrush got the information listening to Bilbo tell the dwarves about it.

A thrush.
The Old Thrush, one of the species of Great Thrush that lived in the Esgaroth region, told Bard that Smaug had a hole in his armored chest right over his heart.
Because this thrush is old and it can understand the common tongue, and the men of Lake-town and Dale can understand the language of the thrushes.
The thrush was beating a snail against a rock, and it helped Bilbo figure out how to enter the mountain.
Bilbo noticed the hole in Smaug's armoured hide. When he related the knowledge to the dwarves a thrush overheard and relayed the information to Bard.
Smaug died when Bard the Bowman, using a special arrow given to him by the thrush, shot the dragon in his weak spot on his belly. This fatal shot pierced Smaug's heart, leading to his demise.
