Chicks (bird)

While chickens are birds, this page refers to non-chicken chicks. For chicken chicks, see Chicks (chicken).
Chicks are a somewhat important part of American culture. They are often depicted in children's books. The knowledge of a mother (and father) bird taking care of chicks in a bowl-shaped twig nest is of incredible importance when educating children. The image of a few chicks in a nest cheeping with beaks open wide and then eating a worm from their mother bird's beak is common knowledge. They are a symbol of new life and spring. The eggs are important to, and are more likely to be depicted than an ugly naked bird baby.
