Pigeon

Pigeons are bright colored bird critters that are found all over Everafter Falls. Pigeons get scared easily and will fly away when approached, except the ones that are too stressed to fly. The player can run into a flock of pigeons, scaring them away, and then catch any flightless pigeons with their Bug Net and bring them to Pip at Penguin Post to rehabilitate them. Ten days later Pip will send the player a thank you letter for saving each pigeon with a special reward attached. The rarer the pigeon was, the more valuable that reward usually is.

Daisy's quest Pigeon in Need provides an in-game introduction to the pigeon catching mechanic.

Spawning

Every morning, a number of pigeon flocks will spawn across main map sections of Everafter Falls; that number is randomly chosen between one and six and then increased by two for each Pigeon Ally blessing from the Pixie Guardian the player currently has. Each cluster has four to seven birds of random color in it.

The chance for a pigeon to be unable to fly and be catchable is 2%. That chance is rolled for in the morning when pigeons spawn. The chance of pigeon to be flightless can only be increased to 3% by picking one or more Pigeon Ally pixie blessings. (It is fixed at 3% and does not increase with additional blessings taken.)

The number of pigeon spawns and their catch rate can only be increased by picking one or more Pigeon Ally pixie blessings. The player's Luck, the tools used, or their equipment does not affect the number and rarity of pigeon spawns or their chance to be flightless.

Rewards

A pigeon's color determines its rarity and the reward it gives when handed to Pip. The possible pigeon colors and rewards are listed in the table below, from most common to least common.

Pigeon color	Spawn chance	Reward
Dark Blue	28.71%	Seed packets (5)
Green	28.71%	Seed packets (5)
Red	28.71%	Seed packets (5)
Sky Blue	4.78%	Treasure chest (1)
Yellow	4.78%	Treasure chest (1)
Pink	2.87%	Tree sapling (1)
White	0.96%	Suspended animal (1)
Black	0.48%	Legendary equipment (1)

The reward will arrive to the player's mailbox ten days after the player hands the pigeon to Pip. The contents of each letter are rolled for the moment the player picks them up from the mailbox, making it possible to reroll the reward by leaving the reward letters in the mailbox overnight, saving the game and only getting the letters out of mailbox in the morning to check their contents and reroll if necessary.

Seed packets

Most packets of growable crops can be received for bringing in a dark blue, green, or red pigeon, including seeds like Merryberry or Dragonfruit that are not normally available at Freya's, except for Zulufruit that is only available at Zenith's Terminal after completing the rocket.
