Trivia

General

• Pigeon is the first bird with species skins whose skins use the entire names of their species instead of just the adjectives.

Rock Pigeon-Based

• Pigeon got a second remodel on March 3rd, 2023. This made it the fifth bird to be remodeled twice.
• In Feather Family’s early stages, the Roblox YouTuber ‘Flamingo’ had featured the game in a video, where he assembled several players as Pigeons to spam Call (At this time, Call had no cooldown). ShinyGriffin credits this event for the game’s rise in popularity and one of the three permanent messages on the wall of The Feather Family is about it.
