Anatomically, Pidgey resembles a {{wp|cedar waxwing}} or {{wp|house sparrow}} more than it does a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}} despite its name. However, there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. Its {{pkmn|category}}, "tiny bird", added to the sound of the end of its name, could suggest that Pidgey is also based on a {{wp|chickadee}}. However, it and its evolved forms seem to have more traits related to {{wp|osprey}}s than pigeons or chickadees.
