chirp
Nestling's brief call
Chirp is the short, high-pitched sound made by small birds and insects: sparrows chirping outside the window, crickets chirping at dusk.
The word imitates the sound.
To chirp is to make such sounds, or by extension, to speak in a bright, cheerful manner.
In slang, to chirp someone is to taunt or trash-talk them, especially in sports: The bench was chirping the opposing goalie all game.
