chirrupv.

/ˈtʃɪrəp/
Forms: 1500s cherip, 1600s cherrip, cherrup, 1600s–1800s cherup, 1600s– chirrup.
Etymology: Evidently formed < chirp, by trilling the r, and developing an additional syllable, to indicate a corresponding variation of sound. But it was thus brought into phonetic association with cheer, cheerful, cheer up, which have acted powerfully upon its sense-development, so that chirrup now conveys a more sprightly or cheery notion than chirp.
1.
a. intransitive. Of birds, etc.: To chirp, esp. with a more sustained and lively effect, approaching to twittering or warbling.

the world > animals > birds > sound or bird defined by > [verb (intransitive)] > chirp or twitter
