In the related article section, I noticed a link leading to the Spearow (TCG) page. Why is it down there? ShinyMew9001 (talk) 22:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Spearow's origin?
Obviously Spearow is not based on a sparrow (we already have Pidgey for that). But could it draw some influence from a chicken (particularly the male chicken, the cock/rooster) ?
- Spearows can be temperamental/aggressive in defending their territory. (Chickens can also be aggressive; rooster to rooster, hen to hen, or hen protecting a nest)
- It must flap its wings rapidly, and lacks the endurance to fly long, high, or far. (Chickens also fly for only short distances.)
- Spearow has a loud territorial cry.
- Spearow's wings (when folded) have a much more upturned angle than other bird Pokémon, and its evolution has a clear rooster-like comb.

Artwork not updated?
Every other Generation I Pokémon has their art changed to its RBGY artwork today, why hasn't Spearow? --The Truth aka Relicant 16:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Potential trivia
In the Biology section, it states that Spearow is monochromatic (sees in black and white). This is quite different from how real birds see, as most of them, including the sparrows and shrikes Spearow is likely based on, are tetrachromatic (sees in 4 colors; in birds, these are typically red, green, blue, and ultraviolet). (Wikipedia link; article has many reliable citations)
Is this sufficiently noteworthy to be deserving of a trivia point? Red Knight (talk) 02:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
