sing like a bird

1. To have a beautiful singing voice. I was so impressed with Molly's performance at the talent show. She sings like a bird—I had no idea!

2. To inform (against someone) to the police or other authority. I heard Joey Malone has been singing like a bird in the hopes of getting his sentence reduced. Let's make sure he's sleeping with the fishes before he gets to trial!
