Talking chirp chirp

i think ive got a bird stuck somewhere in my exhaust. i get this irratating chirp coming out of my muffler. everytime i rev the car i can hear the chirp. does anyone know what im talking about? it makes the sound at the end of the rev normally, but sometimes at cold start ups it makes the sound too, but very very faintly.
my only guesses to what it is, is the exhaust hangers, but i was applying pressure to two of them and it was still there.
anyone have a clue to what i should do?
im sorry if this has been covered before.
thanks

HAHAHA. Check out your exhaust tips. There are these little holes that allow water to fall through.

I would get the car off the ground, start her up, and listen. Have someone rev it a little for you so you can stick your head under and get an idea of where its coming from.

Clean the area well with soap and water....let dry...put a piece of tape(duct tape works well) on the outside...apply some fast cure epoxy over the inside of the holes....let the epoxy cure....remove tape.....bird dead.

did you try stuffing the holes with wood/cork? it won't damage the steel and it's cheap

gum melts, it's not going to work. but you already knew that didn't you? you could just weld the holes shut.
