Why You Never See Baby Pigeons Revealed

Many people have never seen a baby pigeon, leading to widespread curiosity online. These young birds, known as squabs, remain in their nests for an extended period, typically between four to six weeks.

Pigeon parents are monogamous and work together to feed their squabs a nutrient-rich substance called 'pigeon milk.' This unique, curd-like secretion from their throat pouches fuels rapid growth.

By the time squabs are ready to leave the nest, they are nearly indistinguishable from adult pigeons. Their concealed nesting habits in urban environments further contribute to the mystery of their whereabouts.
