Why do birds chirp at night?
Birds call to defend their territory and declare it 'theirs'. There are some birds that come out at night and call, although, if there are lights around that are on during the night (and also during times of sufficient moon brightness) mocking birds can be active at night. They're especially prone to staying up and calling all night where there is artificial light (such as parking lots) that provide sufficient illumination throughout the night. The deal is, if they aren't calling, then they may lose their turf or have to fight for it. So they call to ensure that during the breeding season, they let every other male bird around know that this area is claimed and that everyone else should just move on somewhere else.
Why don't birds chirp at night?
Some birds do, the nocturnal ones. Like whip-poor-will, owls, and nightingales. Most birds sleep at night but will start singing right before or at dawn, in something called the "dawn chorus". Songs function in territory defense and mate attraction, while 'chirps' or calls function in other communication activites, like within-pair communication. So it is sometimes thought that the dawn chorus is useful in reminding neighbours that you made it through the night and your territory is still yours. Or it could be that it is still too dark to go out and find food but singing is easy to do and may serve to attract mates. There are also ideas that maybe song travels further early in the morning but that is not really true. Birds will sing most in the morning and they take a break around noon, to go foraging. They sing again in the evening, but not as much as at dawn.

Some birds are startled at night and let out a few tweets. If they break out in full song for more than a few minutes, not normal. In the spring and summer you may hear a whippoorwill or chuck will's widow, which are very closely related. They're nocturnal. (: I love their song, it's so beautiful.

How do you get rid of birds that chirp all night long?
Hypothetically? Feed them chocolate.that said, absolutely do NOT feed them chocolate. Karma will kill you, cops will arrest you, and you will cease being “Good” and immediately become “Evil.” Children will spit on you as you walk past them and old people who see you will yell “Shame..SHAME!!” You’ll die homeless and penniless and no one will ever love you.
