In animal signaling, all sorts of things can evolve. Some signals are for friendly cooperation, others are for selfish manipulation. Here, Professor Dawkins describes what he calls "conspiratorial whispers" which can evolve when 2 organisms are under strong selection pressure to cooperate.

He also explains why he considers most loud signals (bird calls and fancy plumage) to be examples of manipulative signaling.
