Special abilities

Behavior
Fearow builds its nest on highly elevated areas; they are commonly seen on the peaks of rock spires near canyons. Very tall trees can make a useful substitute for their nests. They are highly territorial and quick to anger, often attacking those who tread too near to their nests.
Fearow naturally live in badlands consisting of rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
Fearow are vicious predators and swoop down from above, grabbing their prey and taking it to their nests. They generally eat bugs and rodents, as they prefer to avoid any type of plant. Fearow also eat Pokémon food.
In the anime
Gary Oak has a Fearow that may or may not have been caught as a Spearow.
Ash had a Fearow he caught in the Electric Tale of Pikachu. It was his first capture, and he gave it the nickname, "Fearless," although it wasn't very obedient towards him.
Fearow is recognized by its long neck and elongated beak. They are conveniently shaped for catching prey in soil or water. It deftly moves its long and skinny beak to pluck prey.

Name origin
Fearow's name is a combination of the words fear and sparrow. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼ドリル, demon drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 onidori, demon bird.
