It does get confusing and sometimes the terms are used interchangeably.
Here is at least one explanation of bird life cycle terms.
1.   Egg.  Or what came first the___ or the egg!
2.  Hatchling - The early stage of a bird's life in the nest after hatching 
from the egg.
3.  Fledgling -  The young nestling beginning to develop pin-feathers.
4.  Juvenile -  The bird in its first plumage.
5.  Immature - The bird in all the plumages from juvenile to adult plumage.

6.  Subadult - Used for birds that have some appearance of being an adult but 
are not yet sexually mature. 

7.  Adult - Sexually mature bird in its adult plumage.

I've been confused in the past!  But what is the difference between juvenile 
and 
immature??
