The pigeon mistakes Alice for a serpent because her extraordinarily long neck, and the way Alice can move it, causes her to resemble one.
....I've seen a good many little girls in my time, but never ONE with such a neck as that! No, no! You're a serpent; and there's no use denying it.
Added to this is the fact that the pigeon is already on the look-out for serpents and expects to see one, so when she sees Alice, she automatically makes that assumption.
....I must be on the look-out for serpents night and day! Why, I haven't had a wink of sleep these three weeks!'
....`And just as I'd taken the highest tree in the wood.... they must needs come wriggling down from the sky!
In "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," pishshalver is a whimsical dish that appears in a conversation between Alice and the Caterpillar. The recipe is not detailed in the text, but it is humorously suggested to be a concoction made from ingredients like "pigeon’s milk" and "field-mice," reflecting the nonsensical nature of Wonderland. The dish serves as an example of the playful and absurd elements that characterize Lewis Carroll's writing.

Alice insults the Caterpillar by claiming that three inches is a 'wretched' height to be, and then it turns out that the Caterpillar is three inches tall: `Well, I should like to be a LITTLE larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind,' said Alice: `three inches is such a wretched height to be.' `It is a very good height indeed!' said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high). `But I'm not used to it!' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone. And she thought of herself, `I wish the creatures wouldn't be so easily offended!' She doesn't insult the Pigeon particularly, but she does frighten it. After trying the mushroom, her neck grows very long and projects her head above the tree tops. This startles a pigeon, who thinks she is a serpent, trying to steal its eggs: `Serpent!' screamed the Pigeon. `I'm NOT a serpent!' said Alice indignantly. `Let me alone!' `Serpent, I say again!' repeated the Pigeon, but in a more subdued tone, and added with a kind of sob, `I've tried every way, and nothing seems to suit them!' Alice tells the Pigeon that she is a little girl, but is forced to admit that she also eats eggs, which causes the Pigeon to concluded that a little girl is a type of serpent: `I--I'm a little girl,' said Alice, rather doubtfully, as she remembered the number of changes she had gone through that day. `A likely story indeed!' said the Pigeon in a tone of the deepest contempt. `I've seen a good many little girls in my time, but never ONE with such a neck as that! No, no! You're a serpent; and there's no use denying it. I suppose you'll be telling me next that you never tasted an egg!' `I HAVE tasted eggs, certainly,' said Alice, who was a very truthful child; `but little girls eat eggs quite as much as serpents do, you know.' `I don't believe it,' said the Pigeon; `but if they do, why then they're a kind of serpent, that's all I can say.' Alice assures the Pigeon that she doesn't want its eggs, but the Pigeon still isn't happy about her being there: `You're looking for eggs, I know THAT well enough; and what does it matter to me whether you're a little girl or a serpent?' `It matters a good deal to ME,' said Alice hastily; `but I'm not looking for eggs, as it happens; and if I was, I shouldn't want YOURS: I don't like them raw.' `Well, be off, then!' said the Pigeon in a sulky tone, as it settled down again into its nest. So, the Pigeon isn't really insulted, it's just being protective.
