What is a "squab"?

A squab is a young pigeon or dove that is still in the nest and not yet able to fly, typically around four weeks old, that is raised for its meat. They are characterized by their small size and round, chubby appearance. Squabs are commonly found in nests constructed by their parents, where they are cared for and fed until they are old enough to leave the nest and begin flying. During this period, squabs rely entirely on their parents for food and protection. As they grow, squabs gradually develop their flight feathers and gain the ability to fly.
