In another part of this thread, I  speculated that the 'Birdie'
Messenger Charm has some limitation. I  personally suspect that you
can't send long complex messages with it; the  messages have to be
brief and to-the-point, not long and  rambling.

That defiantly how I see it too, because as I showed before in my 
quote of GOF, Hagrid knew that it was something important, and
apparently dangerous as he was carrying his crossbow, and running,
but he seemed shocked at what he was seeing.  I see the  mystery
bird as just a simple warning of "need help come quick".

effective as such, and indeed very effective spies as well)

Chancie again:
 
I have wondered about this before as well.  Are ghosts free to  move
around as they please?  How come we haven't seen NHN or the Fat
Friar anywhere other than hallways, or the Great hall.  I don't ever 
recall seeing them out on the grounds.

Chancie (yes again):
 
-Kneazles!!!  Mrs. Norris is a great example, Filch would have a  much
harder time finding students to punish without her.
 
I assume you omitted the obvious: Quibber, and Daily Prophet, 
but I thought I'd include those too.
