Hey Ava... Squab is defined as a baby pigeon (including food). I'm confused! Any ideas on what I should call them? A squeaker, a fledgling, a nestling, a chick, or just baby pigeon?
Ava T-B
Sweet! you almost never see baby pigeons. I think squab only refers to them as food though. Also, please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082378
