chirruping
Making cheerful sounds
Chirruping is the present participle of chirrup, a word for the short, repeated high-pitched sounds made by small birds or insects.
The word suggests cheerful, lively noise: Sparrows were chirruping in the hedges.
Chirrup is a variant of chirp, perhaps influenced by the unrelated word cherup, an old call to horses.
