===Origin===
===Origin===
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 evolutions seem to have more traits related to {{wp|osprey}}s than pigeons or chickadees.
