In study 1, bank swallow (R. riparia) chicks were exchanged with like-aged chicks from other broods. Parents accepted chicks that were transferred into their nests at age 15 days or younger; rejection began to occur at 16-17 days. In study 2, chicks'' vocalizations were recorded in the burrow. An immature begging call given by young chicks is replaced by a signature call at 15-17 days of age. An acoustic analysis suggested that these calls are individually distinctive. Study 3 was a playback experiment designed to test whether the chicks'' signature calls are a sufficient cue for parental recognition. Parents would approach a speaker broadcasting the calls of their chicks in preference to one simultaneously broadcasting the calls of alien chicks. The pattern of results suggests that parental recognition is based on the chicks'' signature calls and that development of recognition is dependent on the development of the call.
