Vocalization of Grassland birds

The vocalization of grassland birds are very different in many ways. There is calling for a mate, when a predator comes, identify family members, and identifying food. There are two main categories of sounds: There's a long loud/abstract song that is for mating or to declare territory boundaries ,or a short call used for finding family members, a predator is around and for the seeing of food. The mating/protective territory calls are usually from male birds trying to attract the females calling from there territory to breed more successfully. The males actually address there songs to other competing males. If there call reaches the distance of the female bird they can find the location they are and mate. When theres a predator usaully a bird will chirp loudly and strongly. Also when a bird is identifying a family member they sing short calls out to the open to find were they are. Then when birds find food they use short high pitched squeaks to tell the location of it.Birds not only just chirp and sing for these reasons but to use when flying above to there pray as well.
