It is quite docile and non-confrontational. Often found hiding in tall grass and foraging for small insects to eat, it does its best to avoid battle. Its two shades of brown feathers and black stripes behind its eyes (possibly working like a tiger's stripes) would make a good camouflage for sandy or grassy areas. It will either blow small or weak foes away with its Whirlwind, or kick up dust in a Sand Attack to blind its enemy. It dwells in forests and grassy areas, and is able to return to its nest from anywhere thanks to an astoundingly sharp sense of direction. Some Pidgeys are known to be able to spot someone eating food from over a mile away, as they love human treats, especially cupcakes.

Pidgeys are common throughout large cities and they often make their home on the ledges of tall buildings or tall structures.
