The correct name for a baby pigeon is ‘a Squab’.
Baby pigeons are squabs until they reach the age of 4 weeks old.
By 4 weeks old they are ready to take their first flight and will be almost as big as a fully grown pigeon (this is why you never see baby pigeons).
Once a pigeon is ready to take its first flight it is no longer a squab but a fledgling.
