Adam and Eve, the first humans according to Jewish, Christian and Islamic religion, are also the first people to disobey God. In that sense, maybe this is a mockery: human beings with lofty ideals are reduced to inept sky rats because they're unable to do as they’re told. (I actually like pigeons but the sky rat reference is more poignant.) As for Kissmequick, the one afraid of heights, maybe it refers to how a quickie won’t ever get off the ground emotionally.
