New description:

 The awesome mascot that's in the Pidgin logo is very well designed. So-
 much so, that I instinctively questioned its name. I mean, something that
 awesome *must* have a name.

 So I ventured into the IRC chatroom on irc.freenode.net to find out.

 21:38 < atc-> hi

 21:38 < atc-> Strange but quick question: is there a name for the Pigeon
 on the Pidgin Icon/website i.e. is it a mascot and does it have a name?

 21:38 < elb> it is a mascot, it has no name

 21:39 < atc-> ok

 21:39 < atc-> thanks

 21:39 < atc-> Can it be called Piginski?

 21:40 < atc-> *Pidginski

 21:42 < elb> probably not

 21:42 < atc-> That's a shame. I think it's a good name.

 21:43 < atc-> Oh well. I'll leave it with you. Perhaps it'll warm on you
 as you sleep all tucked up nice and warm under your snuggly duvet.

 21:43 < atc-> Thanks for the help. Good night/day.

 21:43 < atc-> xx


 WHAT?!

 It has no *name*? How unfair is that?

 Look at him.

 Look him in the eyes.

 Those, sweet, endearing pupils.

 Tell me he doesn't need a name. Tell me he's not worth that. Think of the
 effort that went into creating him/her. How can he not be given the
 dignity of a name?

 For the love of God, fix this bug.

 Call that delightful mascot "Pidginski".
