I'd be highly confused being called a bird or chicken but that's a culture thing. However, I don't get bent out of shape if someone uses some lil nickname or so. As long as it's a respectful term at least! But then there is the sticky slope about well which term, what tone its used in, what context, how it's meant, etc. I think until you know the person you're addressing, especially when trying approach a dominant woman or man, just to be respectful. Use their name and feel them out. Oh, and "hi Ya , how are u" would get no reply from me, mainly because of the chat speak.
