We induced three adoptions during the period of biparental care by placing orphaned chicks of magnificent frigatebirds (Fregata magnificens) into nests of foster parents whose chick had died. Indirect parent-offspring recognition seemed to occur during the period of biparental care. A chick was adopted in one of our three trials; thus, adoption of orphaned chicks potentially could be used as a conservation strategy.
