Little Bird

I would like to translate "little bird" as a term of affection (poetic rather than literal). Thanks, Darryl

Maybe "крохотная пичужка", "мелкая птаха".
I'd appreciate if you can post more information about the context of world you want to translate.

if you're going to tell this to a girl, it can be птичка

Yeah, right, птаха малая works well as a poetic stuff

Thank you for this, it may become useful in my current situation. Being Cryllic-ly challenged, could someone tell me how to pronounce this?

птичка = Ptichka

Bird = птица
Little = малюсенькая

Golubka = "Little dove" right?

Да, голубка. Ещё есть голубок, голубочка, голубочек, голубчик (последнее - не птичка).

Спасибо, я знаю...
Просто меня удивил такой уверенный перевод слова "little" именно как "малюсенькая" :D
