Despite its name, Pidgey more closely resembles various {{wp|passerine}} birds such as {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrows}}, {{wp|chickadee}}s, {{wp|waxwing}}s, and {{wp|wren}}s than it does a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}. However, there have been [[EP164|references]] in the anime to "Pidgey Mail", which is an allusion to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. The black markings around its eyes are reminiscent of {{wp|Ra}} and {{wp|Horus}}, the sun and sky gods of Egyptian mythology who were depicted with the heads of {{wp|falcon}}s. | Despite its name, Pidgey more closely resembles various {{wp|passerine}} birds such as {{wp|Old World sparrow|sparrows}}, {{wp|chickadee}}s, {{wp|waxwing}}s, and {{wp|wren}}s than it does a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}.
