Default There's a pigeon in my clutch

I am getting this noise sometimes when engaging the clutch that kind of sounds like the noise a pigeon makes when it's scuttling around (not a bird call, but a throaty noise).

Does that give anyone a clue?

More often on downshifts?

Nope, exclusively when engaging 1st from a stop.

Do you mean when letting the clutch out in 1st and reverse?

Default Clutch chatter caused by hotspots on flywheel and/or pressure plate surfaces.

Sometimes will go away, sometimes gets worse. If it does get worse, probably will need clutch soon after.

Default Dual mass flywheel noises.

Clutch feels normal, just makes noise?

Default Everything else seems normal...

The clutch pedal isn't any stiffer than I remember it being, though I guess my foot may have acclimated over the last two years.

What do you mean dual mass flywheel noises? The noise started fairly recently.
