Diminutive form? Sorry, no. It would be "ptichka". "T" cannot substitute the "ch" sound here (it would be like saying that "chair" can be pronounced as "tair").
As for "zolotka", you wanted the diminutive form for "zoloto" (gold), I take it? Both "zoloto" and its diminutive form have neuter gender. Hence it has to end with "o".
The word you used for "fire" - I assume you mean "pozhar" - is used to describe when something that's not supposed to be burning, is on fire. As in, "the building's on fire".
Considering the time difference, you never know - it might be 1 am where you are, and daytime here :) Anyway, my offer stands.
