cotes
Small bird enclosures
Cotes is the plural of cote, a shelter for birds—especially pigeons or doves.
A dovecote houses domesticated pigeons; a pigeon cote serves the same function.
The word appears in rural and historical contexts: The estate maintained several cotes for its racing pigeons.
Cote shares a root with cottage, both suggesting small enclosures.
