Balin mentions that he could understand the speech of Ravens. The Thrush flies off and returns with a Raven named Roac. He is such an intelligent old bird he speaks in the Common tongue and we never find out if the dwarves can understand Raven speech.
Roac, son of Carc, is the chief of Ravens of Ravenhill near the Lonely Mountain. He told the Dwarves how Smaug had been defeated.

"Pride goeth before the fall." Dwarves are always being described as thick-necked, stubborn and prideful. Thorin Oakenshield can't just "let it go," when Roac suggests that he put aside his greed and share the wealth of Smaug's hoard.
Thorin asked Roac and the ravens to provide them information and carry messages. They brought the news the Smaug had been killed. They also took messages to Dain and kept them connected.
