It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat, and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet, and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly nondescript, particularly compared to its evolutions Pidgeotto, and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes, and a small crest of brown, and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small Flying-type Pokémon such as Starly, Taillow, and Spearow. However, due to the fact that (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of convergent evolution. Pidgey's feet allow it to walk on the ground for a while but can also reach out, and safely land on perches. Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction, and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Because of this, it is extremely easy to train to deliver messages. Pidgey are very common, and can be seen in a variety of environments. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey's small size permits it to easily hide in long grass, where it is typically found foraging for small insects. It is known to flush out potential prey from long grass by flapping its wings rapidly. This maneuver also serves to protect Pidgey from enemies. If disturbed, a Pidgey is capable of sending a blinding cloud of dust into the air, permitting it to make its escape. This evasive technique can also be applied to battles. While Pidgey generally do not like to fight, they have been known to strike with surprising fierceness when they are cornered. While Pidgey make ideal targets for young trainers, due to their temperaments, it is not unheard of for novice trainers to be seriously injured by a panicked Pidgey. Pidgey typically dwell in forests with thick growth, and large trees. They usually live alongside Rattata. Pidgey mainly eat Weedle, Caterpie, Wurmple, and other small insects. It shares some similarities with pigeons, and there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to homing pigeons. Pidgey's name could be a corruption of "pigeon" or a combination of that with the word "budgie."
