J.K. Rowling has said on her website that Pigwidgeon is a Scops owl. These owls are tiny grey owls with little tufts of hair on their heads. This makes sense as Pigwidgeon is said to fit in a person's fist. Scops owls live in open country with isolated trees and lightly wooded areas containing clusters of trees. They may also be found in run-down buildings, caves, bush-lands, and park-like habitat. |

- — Ron Weasley[src]
Pigwidgeon (also known as Pig) is Ron Weasley's pet owl.
Biography
After Scabbers, Ron's old pet rat, disappeared, having been found out to be Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, who felt partly responsible for Ron's loss of a pet, sent him Pigwidgeon (nicknamed "Pig"). Upon receiving the owl, Ron (to the surprise of Harry and Hermione) actually let Crookshanks sniff him to check if he really was an owl. Pigwidgeon is exceedingly hyper, loud, and very small and has been known to show off for people. (This, however, annoys other owls, forcing Ron to keep him in his room.) Pigwidgeon was described by Harry as resembling a "fluffy snitch". He is usually excited for a job to deliver letters, even though most of the time they are usually heavy for him. He also delivered food to Sirius when he was hiding.
Pigwidgeon was named by Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, because she thought the name was cute. Though Ron tried to change it, the owl would not answer to another name. Though he acts very rude to Pigwidgeon in public, Ron Weasley is very attached to Pig, since this is his first owl.
Behind the scenes
J.K. Rowling has said on her website that Pigwidgeon is a Scops owl. These owls are tiny grey owls with little tufts of hair on their heads. This makes sense as Pigwidgeon is said to fit in a person's fist. Scops owls live in open country with isolated trees and lightly wooded areas containing clusters of trees. They may also be found in run-down buildings, caves, bush-lands, and park-like habitat.
