chirpy

Relentlessly sunny-tempered

Chirpy describes a cheerfully upbeat manner—bright, perky, and talkative.

The word evokes the quick, high-pitched sounds of small birds.

Someone chirpy seems energetically positive, sometimes annoyingly so: She's too chirpy for this early in the morning.

The word is more common in British than American English.
