| h English (en) | A [[squab]] is the name given to the young of domestic pigeons that are destined for the table. Like other domesticated pigeons, birds used for this purpose are descended from the [[rock dove]] (''Columba livia''). Special [[Utility pigeon|utility breeds]] with desirable characteristics are used. Two eggs are laid and incubated for about 17 days. When they hatch, the squabs are fed by both parents on "pigeon's milk", a thick secretion high in protein produced by the [[Crop (anatomy)|crop]]. Squabs grow rapidly, but are slow to fledge and are ready to leave the nest at 26 to 30 days weighing about {{convert|500|g|lboz|abbr=on}}. By this time, the adult pigeons will have laid and be incubating another pair of eggs and a prolific pair should produce two squabs every four weeks during a breeding season lasting several months. |
| h Japanese (ja) | [[squab/ja|スクウォブ]]とは、食用に供される家鳩の幼鳥を指す名称である。他の飼い鳩と同様に、この用途に用いられる鳥は[[rock dove/ja|カワラバト]]（''Columba livia''）に由来する。特別な[[Utility pigeon|実用種]]が望ましい特性をもつものとして利用される。卵は2個産まれ、約17日間抱卵される。孵化すると、スクウォブは両親から[[Crop (anatomy)/ja|嗉嚢]]で生成される高タンパク質の濃厚な分泌物「ピジョンミルク」で育てられる。スクウォブは急速に成長するが、羽毛が生え揃うのは遅く、26～30日齢で巣立ち可能となり、体重は約{{convert|500|g|lboz|abbr=on}}に達する。この頃には親鳩はすでに次の卵を産み、抱卵しており、繁殖期が数か月続く間、多産のつがいは4週間ごとに2羽のスクウォブを生産する。 |
