The two most common bird species in Kanto, most everyone has trained them at some point or another.

I built Pidgey mainly based off of a shrike, besides its voice, it really doesn't strike me as very pigeon-like. I figured a small predatory bird would better suit a species that evolves into huge raptors. It's mostly docile and keeps to itself, only really attacking when it feels threatened.

Spearow here is pretty much a small hawk. Compared to Pidgey, it appears quite flashy, territorial, and aggressive. If a single Spearow can't drive away an annoyance on its own, its entire flock will quickly come to assist it. This one picked out a prime perch on a Lum tree, and seems a bit miffed by the Pidgey landing too close.


_{In case it isn't obvious, this is an homage to Audubon's birds. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to find the exact painting I based it off of, if you're curious.}
