‘Baby spoonbills are colloquially known as “tea-spoons”. This nickname refers to their smaller size and underdeveloped, shorter bills compared to adult spoonbills. While officially classified as chicks, “teaspoons” is a widely used term among birdwatchers and photographers to describe them while in the nest.
