As soon as they realize the sounds are not from another coyote, they will stop answering. Coyotes thrive on the habitat disturbances created by humans. In fact, the logging that was done in British Columbia's Fraser Valley created open farmlands and fields which the coyote needs to survive. It wasn't until the 1930's, after the area had been logged, that the coyote first appeared in the Fraser Valley. By 1980, Coyotes had moved into Stanley Park in Vancouver.
Coyotes can survive in urban areas as long as there is food and shelter available.
They use ravines and other natural corridors to travel between developed areas. In wild areas, most of their diet is made up of rodents, birds and rabbits. They will also eat carion, insects, and fruit they find. Coyotes form loose family groups, not tight family packs like wolves. These groups may form for short periods, then break apart as food supply allows.
