why do you never see baby pigeons
Several reasons:
"First of all, unlike dippy little English sparrows or robins, pigeons hide their nests. "
"Secondly, pigeons are parents non pareil. They lay only two eggs at a time, and spoil those babies shamefully. "The parents will feed the babies until they're totally feathered out," Heppner reported proudly. "By the time they leave the nest, they'll be about the same size as the adults. You know when people eat squab, that's when they take 'em -- when they're nice and plump." Squab, for the culinarily challenged, being baby pigeon."

because they stay in the nest until fully grown, which takes about 7 days from hatch to full grown.

In August, my partner and I visited Notredame, in Paris. As we were climbing the staircase to the top, we looked out of one of the windows and there was a baby pigeon in its' nest. We comented at the time that we had never seen one before.
Unlike (say) Partridge or Woodcock, squabs, being fairly small are often covered by the gravy and vegetables.
Bit of a damp Squab!
you might tell one that has just left the nest by the little bits of yellow down on it's head. they look very bright eyed and have the same 'wow, look at that' reaction to everything.
Because they wear disguises,usually as rats with hats and thick rimmed glasses with walking sticks,and umbrellas
