Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of that with the word ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}}''. Its Japanese name appears to be the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes, ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''. | Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of that with the word ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}}''.
