Pidgey is a small, plump-bodied avian Pokémon. It is primarily brown with a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. On top of its head is a short crest of three tufts. The center crest feathers are brown and the outer two tufts are cream-colored. Just under its crest are its narrow, brown eyes. Angular black marking extend from behind its eyes down its cheeks. It has a short, stubby beak and feet with two toes in front and one in back. Both its beak and feet are a grayish-pink. It has a short, brown tail made of three feathers. | Pidgey is a small, plump-bodied avian Pokémon. It is primarily brown with a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers.

Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. By flapping its wings rapidly, it can whip up dust clouds and create whirlwinds to protect itself and flush out potential prey. {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Feather Dance}} are its former [[signature move]]s. Pidgey is very common throughout its range and can often be seen in meadows and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. {{p|Ekans}} is a natural predator of Pidgey. | Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts.

Anatomically, Pidgey resembles a {{wp|cedar waxwing}} or {{wp|house sparrow}} more than it does a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}}. However, there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. Its 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. | Anatomically, Pidgey resembles a {{wp|cedar waxwing}} or {{wp|house sparrow}} more than it does a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon}} despite its name.
