Birds chirp and twitter among the trees.
(What's the difference between "chirp" and "twitter"?)

I'm gonna hold you to that.
(What does that mean?)

Thanks!

Hello Veravera -

Chirp - a short sharp sound (may be repeated at intervals)

Twitter - a lot of short sharp sounds repeated at short intervals

Trill - like twitter, but singing

I'm going to make you keep your word/promise- :) Philo
