Pidgey (Poppo (ポッポ Poppo) in the original Japanese) is a basic normal-type Pokémon that evolves into Pidgeotto at level 18 and Pidgeot at level 36. A common sight in forests and woods, Pidgey is very docile; when attacked, it will usually flap its wings rapidly at ground level to kick up sand rather than fighting, a technique also used to drive insect prey out into the open.

Anime appearances
Pidgey is a common Pokémon, and many Junior Traniers have one. It is first introduced in the very first episode, when Ash thinks he sees one and tries to capture it. It is actually a Spearow and he fails and gets pecked. Also, in another episode of the anime, there are Pidgey that are used as mail carriers. In yet another episode, a Pidgey reaches the impossibly high height of the upper atmosphere, where Rayquaza lives, and manages to land successfully.
