Spearow

Spearow (オニスズメ Onisuzume) is a small / type bird Pokémon with short wings and a stubby beak. It is noted for being frail. It eats insects in grassy areas by flushing them out with its wings, and plucking at them with its beak.

Appearance
It is mostly brown, with slightly pinkish red wings. Its shoulders are black, but rarely visible due to its plumage. Spearow have a brown underbelly and noticeably large feet and talons. The feathers on its head are somewhat ruffled, giving Spearow what looks like a "spiky head." Its tail feathers and head plumage are both a dark shade of brown.

Special Abilities
Its wings aren't good for long distance travel or high flying, but it is able to fly at high speeds by flapping its wings very rapidly. It is very territorial, constantly buzzing about and calling with a loud cry that can be heard from half a mile away. It serves to scare away predators and keep in touch with other Spearow, which usually is used to alert them of danger.

In the Anime
When Ash started his Pokémon journey, he ended up hitting a Spearow on the head with a rock. The Spearow ended up calling its flock, and they chased Ash and Pikachu. They ended up being defeated by Ash and Pikachu. This was in Pokémon - I Choose You!.

The same flock was picking on the Pidgey population in Pallet Party Panic. The Spearow that Ash had hit on the head had evolved into a Fearow.
