Does anybody have a clue about the correlation between Sansa and birds?

She is always being referred to as a little bird either by the hound or even herself. Does this foreshadow her becoming one of Varys' little birds?

I'm not sure that Sansa will work for Varys, exactly, although I definitely think the little bird connection is there. "Little birds" refers to Varys's child spies. Rather than foreshadowing Sansa being one of Varys's spies, I think it points to her, a skinchanger, adopting birds as her familiar, in the absence of her direwolf. She's learning the spy game from Baelish unlike the "little birds" who are actually just kids.

Other bird references involving Sansa:

Sweet Robin

She is in the Eyrie, which is literally a large nest for a bird of prey

Littlefinger intends to marry her to Harry the Heir, also known as "The Little Falcon"

And also Littlefinger's personal crest is a bird

I believe the birds foreshadow Sansa embracing her warging abilities and she wargs into birds. I think the reason she hasn't found her warging abilities yet is because she hasn't had a traumatic experience to bring them on yet. Like Bran or Jon or Arya has.

So I think Sansa may have a traumatic experience that unleashes her warging abilities in tWoW and that is probably the "controversial" Sansa chapter that GRRM spoke about
