Chirp Magazine is a popular Canadian children’s magazine founded in 1997.[1] Aimed at young children, it is published 10 times per year.

Chirp is the youngest member in a family of magazines that includes OWL and chickaDEE.[1] Regular features include crafts, jokes, puzzles, fiction, and the comics "The Vole Brothers" and "Chirp and Friends," which features the adventures of the magazine's namesake, a large yellow bird.

Chirp, like OWL and chickaDEE, is published by Owlkids[1] and owned by Bayard Canada. Bayard also owns a number of French children’s publications, including Les Débrouillards and Les Explorateurs.

Television

In January 2012, Toronto-based animation studio Yowza announced that it was collaborating with Owlkids and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop a preschool television series based on the magazine. The show airs on CBC Kids. [2]
