We know they can't speak as we do, but they can express their feelings in many ways. The mother horse whinnies and the colt follows. The mare has communicated something to the colt by the sound of her voice. Animals also communicate by their actions. Communication Helps Animals Survive Sounds help an animal communicate with others of its kind. Different sounds seem to mean different things. Do animals know what they are communicating? We cannot be sure. But we do know that animals can't survive unless they find food, keep track of their young, and warn one another of danger. And communication helps them do these things. Even as it looks for food, this meadowlark is alert for danger. A nervous flickering of the tail is a warning, a signal that danger is near. This flashing of the tail may be seen by the bird's mate, which also flies awav. The male red-winged blackbird sings to warn other males away from the territory he is claiming for himself and his plain-colored mate. who answers the male. The song of the male warns other birds that this is the place this pair has selected to raise their lamily The prairie dogs squeaky bark and flickering tail mean danger. Nesting and raising a family is one of the most important activities in the lives of birds. While this female killdeer sits on her nest, the male stays nearby, always alert for danger. Enemies must be kept away from the eggs and young birds. Communication is one help in the everyday struggle to survive. The parent bird calls and the chicks answer. But if an enemy gets too close, the mother bird puts on a remarkable act. She pretends to have a broken wing. This is an unusual kind of communication: her fluttering seems to indicate that she would be easy to catch. An enemy would very likely follow, trying to seize her. And all the while, she leads him farther and farther away from her nest and young, leaving them safe from danger.
