“I was playing the piano by Conservatory of Flowers and coyotes started singing along. Wait til the end, its my favorite part”: Ash Temeña [Reposted with permission]

Of course, coyotes routinely respond to sirens, so their response to the piano would be a similar type of response. Responses to sirens can vary tremendously, from the mellow howling you heard above as they howled along with the piano, to much more high-pitched, short yips as you can hear below. And because I was less than 100 feet away, this recording has quite a different quality to it. If you listen right to the end, you’ll hear a short bark by Dad which actually puts a stop to the howling: Dad is controlling the situation. But several short growls followed that which are barely audible: these are continued vocalizations by Dad with two of his youngsters who were present with him: a two-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter.

Many years ago, I attended the poet Gary Snyder’s poetry and conversation. One big take away for me that evening was when he recalled his daughter playing on the piano one night as he arrived, parked his vehicle and began walking up the steps (Northern CA) where he saw a mountain lion lying down and listening to his daughter play the piano. The cougar saw Gary and then ran. But Gary left us with, play music for the animals.

Thanks, Tish! There’s a fellow who plays the piano for old, abused, circus elephants — they sway to the music. Google *elephants and piano* to see this on YouTube. Janet
