Abstract
King penguin chicks are fed by a parent who goes off to sea to forage. Colonies of these birds can be huge and noisy, meaning that there is potentially a problem for the chick in identifying the calls of the returning parent. Experiments involving playback of calls show that the chicks have remarkable abilities to pick out those of their parent against the background din.
