It doesn't matter. If you assert Bird was inspired, you would need to give a 
reference to it. They're saying you are doing original research. I agree 
with their opinion because the rest of your message is arguing that your 
original research is plausible or even likely.

I think it's enough for your link. That isn't the point.

Did you figure this link out yourself? Or did you read about it somewhere?

If the former, it's original research. If the latter, provide the citation. 
It seems pretty easy to me. :-)
