Ooooh, not exactly! These days, itโ€™s often used as slang for a queer person, typically a gay man. However, in some Yiddish-speaking communities, itโ€™s used as a term of endearment!

And of course, you could use it in reference to an actual bird, but expect a few chuckles from some immature Yiddish speakers if you do.

More specifically, it means โ€œlittle birdโ€. Adding the โ€œ-eleโ€ suffix to anything in Yiddish makes it โ€œlittleโ€- kind of like the suffix โ€œitoโ€ in Spanish.
