Pokedex Entry
Aerisus docilis, commonly known as Pidgey, is a small avian species found predominantly in temperate forests and grasslands. This bird exhibits a strong preference for dense vegetation, using tall grass for cover while foraging primarily on small insects and seeds. Pidgey has developed a unique behavior of rapidly flapping its wings at ground level to create a dust cloud, effectively driving hidden prey into the open. Its docile nature is complemented by an impressive ability for homing, allowing it to return to its nest from considerable distances with remarkable accuracy. In terms of defense, rather than engaging in direct confrontation, Pidgey relies on its ability to kick up sand or debris as an evasive tactic. This species displays a remarkable adaptation to its environment, enabling efficient thermoregulation through its feathered body, which provides insulation and aids in flight stability during foraging activities.
