It is the thrush mentioned in moon-runes on Thorin's map. ' "Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks," read Elrond, "and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's day will shine upon the key-hole." ' -page 50 of The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkein. (I don't own anything!) It is knocking on the door of Erebor with a snail, which shows the dwarves and Bilbo how to get in. (on page 189)
