Last few days rear passenger wheel is chirping not all the time and stops when brake is pressed only started a few days ago my daily commute is 45 minutes.

Is it rear pads or bearing?
Like a bird chirping but only for 10 seconds or so at a time just started a few days ago.

Yep, this is common when the rear brakes need to be done, here is a video that will help you retract the rear caliper so you can install the brake caliper after the new pads are installed, it is important to align the piston caliper with the notice in the brake pads.
