Get the Bird's Magic Word
In the legend of Siegfried, he killed a dragon, tasted its blood, and was able to understand the speech of birds. That is the basis of this particular challenge.
The magic word spoken by the bird changes each time you play the game, so you shouldn't expect what is here to be the same as the one you will get.
Once you get the magic word, you will need to figure out what to do with it. That's another walkthrough.

listen
The bird is singing to you in gratitude for your having returned it to its home. In return, it informs you of a magic word which it thinks you may find useful somewhere near the Hall of Mists. The magic word changes frequently, but for now the bird believes it is "S'DQM". You thank the bird for this information, and it flies off into the forest.
