(Noun.) A constantly chirping(hence why they are birds,) smoke detector which is usually mounted on the ceiling, perhaps unbeknownst to its owner that it is indeed in need of a new battery. These entities appear to be found vastly disproportionately in the dwelling places of those of African descent, for reasons researchers are still trying to discover. Possible theories include: a.) The people in question are simply too lazy to do the few minutes of work to get a step ladder and to change the battery. b.)They are not forward-thinking enough to keep extra 9v batteries in storage, therefore a trip to the store is required. The ceiling bird keeper is subsequently either too lazy to go the store, or too cheap to want to pay for a new battery. c.) The chirping/beeping is simply drowned out by the cacophony of other sounds - loud/poorly behaved children, loud music, TV, constant yelling, etc. Thus the owner is unaware of the problem in the first place or has learned to just tune out the chirping.
