This is my second time hearing my pig chirp.. It only lasts for a few seconds each time. It normally happens around the same time at night, and I don't know what it means. I managed to get a short video, and you can hear one of them chirping, but I'm not sure what it means. (Turn up your volume, it's quiet.)
 
Like @Cavy Kung-Fu said, nobody really knows for sure. I've read so many theories on the internet. I'm not even sure if it's for a good reason or not as i've never heard my two do it before.
 
Nobody has so far figured it out satsfactorily. You can go years, even in a large group, without hearing chirping and then you get a "singer" who does this fairly regularly.

Sometimes it can be connected to a recent upset or to tensions in the group, but at other times there is simply no obvious trigger at all.
 
No one knows for sure... it's a mystery that hasn't been fully explained to the humans! Two of my previous pigs went through a period of about 6 months where both of them had occasional chirping sessions (never together, but I caught them both doing it on occasion) and they stopped completely and I never heard it again from them or from my subsequent pigs!
 
My piggy chirps fairly regularly, she's actually done it during a cuddle before! From my own personal experience it seems happy but I can't say for sure. She's chirped since she was a baby, think we'd had them about a month when she first did it. She's the only one of my 4 who does!
 
My second oldest lady has recently become a chirper at the age of 6 1/2 - usually does it at about 2-30 in the morning - then when I come downstairs she stops and looks all innocent at me as if to say who moi?
