BACKGROUND: Pidgits are flightless birds. To counter this problem, they use magic carpets. Although they are thought to originally work for Wart, due to them appearing in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (past) it is questionable where their loyalties lie. It is also questionable where they got their carpets from, as Partners in Time takes place roughly just after Yoshi’s Island and before Yoshi’s Story – a very early time in Mario’s childhood and Subcon hasn’t even been invaded yet!
EVOLUTION: In the original SMB2, they were black and rode around on red carpets.  In Wario’s Woods, they are regular, black birds that drop enemies.  They eventually became blue when they returned in the Super Mario All-Starts version of SMB2. They reappeared slightly bitmapped-enlarged, kinda rubbish looking n SSBM  They were basically oversized versions of the orignals. In Mario & Luigi: partners in Time, these bird-brains are actually much nicer-looking then their SMB2 counterparts.
OTHER BACKGROUND INFO:
"He brings evil dreams. He can't fly on his own, so Wart gave him a flying carpet." - SMB2 Instruction Manual
"Pidgits are wingless birds enchanted by the vegetable-hating Wart to be the bearers of bad dreams. They live in Subcon, a land contained within Mario's dreams, where they fly around on magic carpets. Mario and friends were able to use these carpets for short distances once they dislodged the piloting Pidgit." - Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophy
BATTLE PLAN:

Super Mario Bros. 2:
Attack Pattern: They fly around in various patterns.
Basic Strategies: Jump on them, throw them off and ride the carpets until they mysteriously vanish.

Wario's Woods:
Attack Pattern: They fly around and drop enemies on you.
Basic Strategies: In Wario Woods, if possible, get rid of Pidgit, if not, keep moving!

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time:
Attack Pattern: They’ll swoop down and ram the bro.
Basic Strategies: I find Smash Eggs to be quite effective. Take out the ones with coin sacks first: they’ll flee if you don’t.
Advanced Strategies: Wait until they swoop about half-way down before jumping, as sometimes they’ll stop, cackle for a second, and then continue diving.  If they come from behind, they’re attacking Mario, from the front, Luigi.
