chirpers
Birds at dawn
Chirpers are things that chirp—typically small birds, crickets, or other creatures that make short, high-pitched sounds.
The word appears in casual speech for anything that produces such sounds: The morning chirpers woke me at dawn.
In slang, chirpers can refer to talkative people, especially children or groups chattering away.
