Click on the photo to enlarge it to see the characters more clearly.
ちどり is a type of small bird, a plover in English, and ちどり歩き is a colorful expression for describing the way people often walk when they’re tipsy. A common variation is ちどり足. If you’re talking about your recent exploits and are recalling how you stumbled home, you might wind it up by saying 千鳥足で帰った or 千鳥歩きで帰った.
ちどり is often written with the kanji 千鳥, which literally means one thousand birds. Restaurants sometimes take this name, and it’s also the name of a traditional motif found on various fabrics, a small repeat pattern of a simply drawn bird.

忠犬ハチ公
Use the rikaichan popup dictionary or your favorite reference tool with my transcription below the photos if you need help reading the characters.
Hachi is likely the most well known dog in Japan, and thanks to the Hollywood remake of the Japanese film about his loyal devotion to his master, he’s known widely outside Japan these days, too. I took these photos at Shibuya Station in Tokyo late last December.
For some related listening and reading practice, try this brief news clip on youtube. It focuses on recent research that determined the cause of Hachi’s death.
This statue is featured at the beginning, and you’ll hear the characters inscribed on it voiced. The visuals in the clip illustrate the findings of the research and much of what the newscaster says is paraphrased and subtitled in Japanese.
