Colorado Outdoor Vertebrate Pest Control Practice Test

A bird's offspring.

Clutch Nestling Chick Hatchling

Correct Answer:

Clutch

Explanation:

In wildlife terminology, a single nesting attempt produces a batch of offspring called a clutch. This term captures the group of eggs laid and the offspring produced during one breeding event, which is why it’s used to refer to the bird’s offspring in this context. The other terms describe individual young birds at specific life stages—nestling is a young bird still in the nest after hatching, chick is a general term for a young bird, and hatchling refers to a newly hatched young bird—so they don’t match the idea of the offspring produced in one reproductive event.
