What do cherpy babies sound like?

When I read/think of them I think of bird chirping. Is that what it would sound like? Or are there mammals that Cherp?

The common answer from a long long time ago was like rodents like mice and hamsters. People nowadays seem to think they chirp like birds and make other bird sounds which idk isn’t my preferred headcanon.

The justification being that they’re genetic chimeras of a hodgepodge of different animals. Some people put birds in that hodgepodge to explain their speech and (sometimes) feathery wings.

Somebody answered me on Reddit that probably would be like some puppies or rodent sound.

It’s really funny imagining them actually saying ā€˜chirp’, the word not the sound

I’ve always thought of baby chicks.
I don’t care if it makes more biological sense. Rodents squeak. Fluffies cheep like chickens.

In my head they sound sort of like baby guinea pigs, except instead of the whistle/ā€˜wheek’ a guinea pig’s noises start with, foal noises start with the ā€˜puh,’ so it sounds like the babies are saying ā€˜peep’

Example of the guinea pig cadence

I imagine something between the baby rabbit and this ferocious little squeaky toy:

Oh shit a JoJo reference

I go for the rodent/puppy sound.
Never was a fan of the bird idea, even if they have bird dna for the wings/feathers, in my eyes the mamals dna used are more prevalent.
But in the end of the day the golden rule always prevail ā€œIt all depends on your headcanonā€

I think they sound like a fusion of mice and birds

I always thought of it as a literal high pitched voice saying ā€œpeep!ā€ and ā€œchirp!ā€. It’s so much dumber and more uncanny like that.

Also makes me think of Churpos, where it’s just a normal male voice saying ā€œchirp.ā€ in a monotone.

My brain unironically does this whenever I read a fluffy story lmao. Spoken chirps and peeps.

It makes most sense to me too because of that. When I see ā€œchirpā€/ā€œcheepā€/ā€œpeepā€, I think of baby birds.
