maybe it had been told stories by its grandparents about what it had to do when The Time Came. It is an unusual thrush, being black, I've never seen a black thrush.
The beam of light is almost like a finger pointing to the rock, just to make sure that neither we nor Bilbo miss it. Perhaps it is Tolkein.
I think a lot of luck combined with destiny has come together in this chapter. And why not, it's a story full of the impossible.
I get the nudges and I have dreams that come true, I had one not long ago in that I dreamt Mr Twit was in a car that wasn't his, whilst sat at traffic lights at a crossing on a dual carriage way, by small trees and that a lorry crashed into the back of him.
I told him,and also told him to leave a bigger than normal space between him and the car in front, and to make sure his handbrake was on. He laughed, two days later it happened.
(He was unhurt somehow, but the car was a complete write-off, the rear completely crushed - he was pushed into the car in front, but perhaps by the fact that he had actually thought to leave a gap and put his handbrake on, he wasn't squished into it.)
That's a big example I know, but I always act on these nudges.
