Abstract
⺠Nestling scrubwrens go silent after hearing parental alarm calls signalling danger. ⺠We tested how nestlings respond to playback of heterospecific alarm calls. ⺠Nestlings went silent to heterospecific alarm calls similar to those of parents. ⺠Older nestlings responded to structurally different alarms, suggesting learning. ⺠Nestling response thus changes over time, and appears to be both innate and learned.
