Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
it is from the Bible and the story of the great flood

Genesis 8
10 After seven days Noah again sent out the dove from the boat,11 and that evening it came back to him with a fresh olive leaf in its mouth. Then Noah knew that the ground was almost dry

both the dove and offering an olive branch have become symbols of peace

mayb caus pillows are created by humans and humans suck, they hurt and kill and are selfish and they majorly suck.

Doves are peaceful, and don't have dangerous beaks.

Now a pillow with feathers represents greed. Poor naked bird.
