Morphology

chirper = chirp (semi-transparent) = chirp + er

Morphologically clear ('someone who chirps'), but the sense 'lively/cheerful person' is a figurative extension, not strictly deducible by a learner.

Etymology

Chirper comes from chirp, a small cheerful bird sound, plus the ending -er meaning 'one who'. So a chirper can mean a person who talks in short, lively, happy ways.
