Live Squab Pigeons from Germany
Live squab pigeons under 28 days are imported for gourmet meat production. Though pigeons are not explicitly listed in heading 01.05, they are considered 'other' live poultry when farm-raised. These birds are not fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, ducks, geese, turkeys, or guinea fowls, and therefore fall under the 'Other' category.
