Din, chatter, vocal noise, especially of birds. Also known as chirm.

I feel obliged to put in a good word for twitter (and, by extension, flutter), as it forms the basis for one of my favorite constructions: 'The ladies down at Truvy's were all atwitter at the news of Britt-Britt's latest red-carpet gashflash'.
Furthermore chavish (doesn't rhyme with knavish) runs the risk of being confused with the descriptor meaning 'having the properties of a chav':
'Ever since he moved to that fancy prep school, Teddy's behavior has been more and more chavish'.
