All baby birds are called chicks. Small birds not yet ready to leave the nest are nestlings. Those who are ready to fly from the nest are called fledglings. I don’t know if all young birds have a name, but here are a few:

Crow: simp
Pigeon: squab
Eagle: eaglet
Falcon/hawk: eyas
Swan: cygnet
Duck: duckling
Chicken: cockerel
Hen: pullet

Hi Jane and Jolly

Personally, I would never say that a bird "gave birth to a" baby bird.

A bird first lays eggs. And the eggs later hatch.

Honestly, Conchita, except for eaglet and duckling, I don't think any person walking down the street would know these words. A few might know cygnet. We just say they hatch baby birds, or chicks if it's a bird we think kindly about (not a crow). A lot of people would understand simp as an old word for a Soviet sympathizer.

That's what I thought, too, Jamie. I hardly know them in my own languages, let alone in English! But, whether we know them or not, the fact remains that these words exist (I swear I didn't make them up Smile !). If someone asks for them, why shouldn't I oblige them with the information I can find, especially if I can learn from it too?

I like the expression: a bird we think kindly about.

You're right about that! Who knows? Someone may be writing a poem.

That was just my spontaneous turn of phrase. It is funny, come to think of it.
