Don't know if the pigeon chicks are called squab, but cooked pigeon is called that. Believe it or not, in rural areas the little beggers are edible -- and quite good. Mostly breast and the rest is too boney to mess with.

BTW -- I though mourning doves were usually soft brownish-grey and white, not grey or multicolored like pigeons. Of course, I'm no expert on birds -- just going by what rests on my TV antenna all the time and coos beautifully.
