Meanings
plural chirrupers
- One who chirrups.
As it [the sun] passed round to the south the first chirrupers would cease, and others on that side of the tree take up the chorus; and when the shades of evening fell upon the branches, one by one the grasshoppers became silent.
1866, Elizabeth Anne Finn, Home in the Holy Land
