The same reason you don't see baby pigeons lolWhy do you never see baby squirrels?
Until 2 weeks ago I'd never seen baby squirrels. Then I looked out the front window and saw a momma squirrel leading around 4 little ones. Got out the binoculars and watched them for about a half hour. I also saw something else I'd never seen before when the mother stood on her hind legs: squirrel nipples. Just some other things you figure must exist, but rarely or never see. They must be living in my oak tree. I haven't seen them since.
I do sometimes one falls out of th e nest if there is a huricane .
they tend to stay in the nest until they are almost as big as the parents ,as with a lot of birds
you have probably seen them but your untrained eye did not notice the difference ,they are slightly smaller and skinnier
I've been wondering the same about pigeons - you never see baby pigeons....
stay in the drey (nest) an awful lot when they are young, only very small trips out to learn their environment - get upto a decent size fairly quick as well. best time to see is round a well-established nesting site at dawn and dusk
maybe their mothers are afraid to let them go around x they may keep em safe just incase x
I have seen baby squirrels. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.
