Its the opposite of chicken.

Flying birds like dove, pigeon, ducks, geese can fly long and fast so they have a dark meat breast & white meat legs. Now supposedly the squabs have never flown so the breast is not as dark the same as veal is not as red as beef.

OTOH, the walking birds rarely fly and fly only short distances so quail, Cornish hens, prairie chickens, chicken , and turkeys have white meat breasts and dark meat legs.

If you don't like liver, you won't like pigeons

Article says the squab meat is iron rich...that might account for the liver comment.
