Twitter | Listen to your mother (nature). However accomplished we are at communications, we like to view our efforts in the context of the awe-inspiring natural world in which we live. Birds (mostly male) sing to defend their territory and to attract a mate. Short, simple songs are used for defense, and operatic ones to attract females. They can distinguish neighbors from strangers, call their mate to come home, and travel incognito by imitating the local “language”. We asked Peter Alden, an ornithologist, to choose and translate notable examples of communication from the world of birds. The recordings are from the Cornel Lab of Ornithology. |

"Hi, this is your mother, remember me?" Parents here are teaching their babies to recognize their voices. Imagine fifty parents facing the other way, with exactly the same haircut. Each baby has to recognize both mother and father when they say good morning. Likewise, parents have to hear their own babies in the din of all the rest. Orphans don’t get fed. |  | Timing is everything.
