There was a character in Lost named Hurley, and at one point in the show a bird flies over the group and screeches out a bird noise that could be very roughly interpreted as sounding like his name. There was then this exchange between two characters:

Hurley: Did that bird just say my name?
Sawyer: Yeah, it did. Right before it crapped gold.

It was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek joke by the producers, with Hurley acting as the audience and Sawyer being the producers, making fun of people looking for hidden meaning in literally every tiny part of the show. Of course, despite this pretty obviously having no meaning (and being a literal joke about exactly this), people took the bird noise and came up with theories about what it 'actually' meant for YEARS. Its just a classic case of people looking for meaning in dumb poo poo.
