Pidgey | Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. 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 non-descript, particularly compared to its evolutions [[pidgeotto]] and [[pidgeot]]. Its has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small flying-type pokemon such as [[starly]], [[taillow]], and [[spearow]]. However due to the fact that (with the exception of spearow) these pokemon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution convergent evolution]. | ||

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 pokemon, 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. | |||
