Judging from the OP's posts, in his world, they all look alike.

They are called baby guinea pigs.

Guinea pigs are at least four times the size of hamsters. You sure you aren't thinking of gerbils?

Same. Not my thing, but hey. I don't eat rabbit because I grew up to associate it as a cuddly household pet, but it doesn't bother me that people eat it.

I knew they were cuy the minute I saw the video and seeing that it was Elmhurst/Jackson Heights, which has a decent Peruvian population.

I've had a good squab dish in Italy, but I'm pretty sure they weren't pigeons taken off the streets. It'd be pretty amazing if this city were actually clean enough where the pigeons can be safely eaten.
