Found on and around Death Mountain, Hotfeather Pigeons are mainly red in appearance with orange spots on their chest and grey wings and head. Their plumage is fireproof and highly prized as a clothing material[5]. They will flee from Link if they see him, and they drop a Raw Bird Thigh when killed.

White Pigeon[]

Main article: White Pigeon

White Pigeons are said to have got their white plumage after a Wood Pigeon survived atop a snowy mountain by changing its feathers to blend in with the snow.[6] They will flee from Link if they see him, and they drop a either a Raw Bird Thigh or a Raw Whole Bird when killed. The high quality of there meat is due to the extra layer of fat white pigeons have developed to combat the cold.[7]
