Fun fact: Pigeon chicks are actually called “squeakers”

No. They are called squabs.

Not mutually exclusive. They are both terms used to describe Pigeon chicks. Squab refers to an earlier phase of development. They progress into squeakers.

Squab refers to pigeon as a meat source, in the same way that beef refers to cow as a meat source.

Interesting. I did not know that. Maybe harkens back to the days of Pigeon pie?! 🐦🥧

I can attest I was a squeaker who hit puberty and then squabbed.
