Laurel Pigeon Squab
Columba junoniae (squab)
Laurel Pigeon squabs remain concealed in a simple nest in the laurel forests and rocky ravines of the Canary Islands. Both parents feed the chick rich crop milk at first, followed by softened fruits, seeds, and other plant material. The youngster is covered in sparse yellowish down before gradually developing its flight feathers.
