Special PowersNone Known

Ron Weasley's owl is Pigwidgeon, or Pig. The name is taken from a real if esoteric word meaning small, or petty, which is an apt description of the overeager, hyperactive bundle of fluff, especially compared to the more stately delivery owls. Pigwidgeon was a gift from Sirius Black to Ron, to replace his rat, Scabbers. Pigwidgeon was named by Ron's sister, Ginny.

It is also the name of a mischievous fairy in the poems of Michael Drayton.
