Explanation

There is no error There is no error ‘do not chirp’. A sentence has at least one subject and one predicate. Subject of the main clause is ‘the chirping birds’, so the predicate of the main clause should accord with this and it should accordingly be ‘do not chirp’. If the main subject clause and the main predicate clause are put together, they should read as ‘the chirping birds do not chirp in mirth’. Other clauses are mere embellishments. There are no errors in the rest of the parts. There is no error
