Linking a thread below because the misuse of the term “juvenile” for birds is still causing understandable confusion. The “juvenile” option really should be replaced with the term “immature” for birds, because all juvenile birds are immature, but not all immature birds are juveniles.

See this thread: [How should immature organisms be annotated?](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-should-immature-organisms-be-annotated/59545)
